Property investment stats for Dodworth, Yorkshire and The Humber

• Investors can benefit from the impressive one-year capital growth of 25.4%, which is much higher than typical for the region.
• The top postcode district offers rental yields of 5.2%, providing steady income potential.
• With a price-to-income ratio of 3.9 and a median sale price for a three-bedroom house at £230,000, Dodworth remains accessible for both investors and local buyers.

• The private rented sector is in the 14th percentile, so rental demand from tenants may be limited compared to more urbanised areas.
• The population aged 60 and over is in the 73rd percentile, which may affect future housing demand and turnover.
• The student and young professional population is relatively low, which could limit appetite for certain types of rental property.

Dodworth’s recent performance, with a one-year capital growth of 25.4%, suggests continued investor interest in the short term. However, the area’s older demographic and lower proportion of private renters may temper growth in the rental market. Family and couple households are relatively prominent, so demand is likely to remain strongest for traditional homes rather than smaller flats or student accommodation.

Properties are selling quickly, with a median of 44 days on the market and buyers often paying at or above asking prices, as shown by the £0 (the typical achieved discount) metric. Provided broader economic conditions remain stable, Dodworth should maintain its appeal for investors looking for a blend of capital growth and affordability, though rental investors should be selective about target tenant groups.
