Property investment stats for Droylsden, North West

• Rental yields are robust, with an average of 6.2%, and the top postcode district delivering 6.2% — making the area attractive for landlords seeking reliable returns.
• Properties are moving quickly, taking just 39 days on average to sell, which means liquidity is healthy and investors can act with confidence.
• The family household percentile is in the 77th percentile, suggesting strong demand for larger homes and a stable tenant base for family properties.

• The degree-educated and professional population percentiles are both at 18, which may limit demand from higher-earning tenants or buyers seeking aspirational neighbourhoods.
• Unemployment is in the 69th percentile, so there is a moderate risk of economic vulnerability affecting local demand or rental stability.
• The achieved versus asking price median is £0 (the typical achieved discount), which suggests that sellers are not achieving premiums over asking and may indicate some price sensitivity in the market.

Looking ahead, Droylsden continues to offer a balanced mix of affordability and rental performance. The combination of 6.2% average yields and capital growth of 7.6% over the past year points to a market that is both active and rewarding for investors willing to engage with the local demographic.

With a strong family presence and properties not lingering on the market for long, I expect rental demand to remain resilient. However, economic risks tied to the relatively high unemployment percentile and a less professional workforce mean investors should keep an eye on shifts in local employment and tenant profiles. Overall, the next 12 months look promising for those who focus on well-priced, family-oriented stock and remain realistic about local wage growth and affordability.
