Property investment stats for Driffield, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The median price per square foot of £225 per sq ft and the price-to-income ratio of 4.2 make Driffield appealing for investors seeking affordability and lower barriers to entry.
• The strongest rental yields are in YO25, at 4.3%, offering potential for those targeting the best-performing pockets.
• The median discount to asking price of £3,000 (the typical achieved discount) provides some scope for negotiation on purchases.

• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -4.2%, so short-term gains are not guaranteed.
• The population is older, with the 60+ age group in the 90th percentile, which may affect long-term rental demand and market dynamics.
• Families are underrepresented here, with the proportion in the 11th percentile, limiting appeal to certain tenant groups.

The next 12 months in Driffield are likely to see stability rather than rapid change. The affordability metrics, such as the price-to-income ratio of 4.2 and the median price per square foot of £225 per sq ft, should help support prices even if demand is not surging.

Rental yields are steady at 3.9%, and the median asking rents for a 3-bedroom house of £988 and a 2-bedroom flat of £675 suggest ongoing demand, albeit not at premium levels. The older demographic and low family presence may keep the market’s pace gentle, but for investors seeking reliable, manageable returns rather than volatility, Driffield remains a solid bet.
