Should you invest in Crigglestone and Durkar?

Opportunities

  • The top postcode district in the area offers strong rental yields of 5.1%, which will appeal to investors targeting income.
  • The current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £265,000, while a 2-bedroom flat is listed at £125,000, offering entry points at different budget levels.
  • A median discount of £3,500 (the typical achieved discount) suggests there may be room for negotiation when purchasing.

Risks

  • The private rented sector is in the 13th percentile, so rental demand may be more limited than in areas with a higher proportion of renters.
  • The population aged 60 and over is in the 79th percentile, hinting at a more mature demographic that could affect future demand dynamics.
  • Annual sales volumes of 102 are not especially high, which could affect liquidity if you need to sell quickly.

Outlook

Looking ahead, the area’s annualised growth rate of 4.7% suggests a stable trajectory for prices. The high owner-occupier rate and relatively low price-to-income ratio indicate continued affordability and resilience, even if demand from private renters is less pronounced. Rental yields of 5.1% in the top-performing district provide a cushion for income-focused investors.

With properties spending an average of 95 days on the market, sales are not especially rapid, but the market does not appear stagnant. The combination of steady capital growth, negotiable purchase prices, and entry-level affordability makes Crigglestone and Durkar a practical choice for investors with a long-term view.
