Should you invest in Cleethorpes?

Opportunities

  • The average rental yield of 5.2% is attractive for income-focused investors, especially given the strong showing in the top-yielding postcode district at 5.0%.
  • Affordability remains a key advantage, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.2 and median asking prices for family homes and flats at £155,000 and £120,000 respectively.
  • The rental market is robust, supported by a high proportion of private renters (in the 84th percentile), and median rents for 3-bed houses and 2-bed flats at £650 and £665.

Risks

  • The professional and degree-educated population is low (in the 7th and 9th percentiles), which may limit growth in higher-end market segments.
  • The area has a higher unemployment rate relative to much of Britain (71st percentile), potentially impacting tenant stability and long-term demand.
  • Families make up a smaller share of households (26th percentile), which could affect demand for larger homes or long-term lets.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Cleethorpes is likely to continue attracting investors who prioritise yield and affordability. The annualised growth over three years of 3.3% suggests that while capital appreciation is steady, it is not explosive — ideal for those seeking a balanced, lower-risk option.

Liquidity should remain reasonable, given the average days on market of 89 days and consistent transaction volumes. Investors should expect ongoing demand from single occupiers and private renters, though the limited number of families and professionals may cap price growth at the upper end. Overall, Cleethorpes offers a stable environment for buy-to-let, with income prospects outweighing rapid capital gains.
