Property investment stats for Cleckheaton, Yorkshire and The Humber

• Strong rental yields of 5.8% and a private rented sector in the 71st percentile suggest consistent tenant demand and reliable income streams.
• The median sale price for a 2-bedroom flat is just £91,000, offering a low-cost entry point for investors looking to diversify or start small.
• Properties are selling quickly at 39 days, making it easier to realise gains or adjust your portfolio without lengthy holding periods.

• The student and degree-educated population are both in the 29th percentile, so demand from young professionals and students may be lower than in neighbouring areas.
• Families are underrepresented at the 29th percentile, potentially limiting the market for larger homes and long-term tenants.
• The median discount of £3,450 (the typical achieved discount) means buyers can negotiate, but it might also signal that sellers need to be flexible on price.

Cleckheaton’s outlook for the next year is quietly optimistic. The combination of 2.8% capital growth in the past year and a solid three-year annualised rate of 4.6% suggests that the area is not just a flash in the pan.

Affordability remains a major draw, and with the private rented sector well above average, I expect rental demand to stay strong. Liquidity in the market is healthy, so investors should be able to buy and sell without too much hassle. Overall, Cleckheaton looks set to offer a steady, dependable return rather than wild price swings — ideal if you want a portfolio that lets you sleep at night.
