Property investment stats for Clitheroe, North West

• The average rental yield of 5.2% is attractive for investors seeking steady income rather than rapid capital gains.
• The median discount of £3,450 (the typical achieved discount) on achieved versus asking prices suggests buyers may have room to negotiate.
• A relatively low price-to-income ratio of 4.5 makes entry to the market more feasible for both investors and local buyers.

• One-year capital growth has changed by -2.8%, which may signal short-term price volatility or softening demand.
• The market is not especially fast-moving, with properties spending about 40 days before selling, so liquidity is moderate rather than high.
• The area’s family household percentile is in the 29th percentile, indicating a lower proportion of families which may limit certain types of rental demand.

Over the next year, I expect Clitheroe’s property market to continue offering reliable rental returns, especially given the 5.2% and the ongoing demand from couples and older residents. While the one-year capital growth figure of -2.8% might give some investors pause, the three-year growth trend of 2.3% suggests that the market is fundamentally stable.

With asking prices for both three-bedroom houses (£283,998) and two-bedroom flats (£159,500) remaining accessible, affordability should help underpin continued demand. I do not expect dramatic price movements, but the area’s steady fundamentals and room for negotiation on sales make it a sensible option for investors with a medium- to long-term horizon. Liquidity should remain reasonable, and the market is likely to reward patience and a focus on income rather than short-term gains.
