Property investment stats for Crawcrook and Greenside, North East

• Rental yields are attractive, with the area posting strong rental yields of 5.4%, which could appeal to investors looking for income.
• The median price per square foot of £170 per sq ft and low price-to-income ratio of 2.9 mean entry costs are accessible for buyers.
• With no median discount between asking and achieved prices (£0 (the typical achieved discount)), sellers are getting what they ask for, which hints at stable demand.

• Capital values have changed by -11.4% over the last year and -3.8% annualised over three years, so short-term price growth has not been positive.
• The area’s population skews older, with the 60+ age group in the 76th percentile, so long-term demand could be shaped by demographic shifts.
• The student and family populations are both in the lower percentiles, which may limit certain types of rental demand and future growth.

Looking ahead, I’d expect Crawcrook and Greenside to remain a spot where affordability leads the conversation. The median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £190,000, while rents for similar homes are around £895 — this balance should support steady rental demand. With owner-occupation in the 77th percentile and private renting not especially high, the area’s stability is underpinned by people who tend to stay put.

If you’re searching for capital growth, the recent capital growth of -11.4% and annualised growth of -3.8% suggest patience will be needed. Still, with rental yields at 5.4% and accessible entry prices, the numbers work for those focused on income. In a market where buyers and sellers are agreeing on price, liquidity should stay reasonable. The next year is likely to bring more of the same: affordable homes, reliable yields, and a steady, if unspectacular, pace.
