Property investment stats for Dukinfield, North West

• Dukinfield boasts strong rental yields of 6.4%, making it attractive for buy-to-let investors seeking solid income returns.
• Capital growth has been steady, with a 1-year increase of 4.0% and an annualised 3-year growth rate of 4.8%, indicating a positive trend for long-term investors.
• The relatively low price-to-income ratio of 4.6 means there is still room for further demand from local buyers, which may support future price growth.

• The area has a high proportion of social rented housing in the 81st percentile, which could limit the proportion of owner-occupiers and affect neighbourhood stability.
• A low percentage of degree-educated residents (13th percentile) and professionals/managers (16th percentile) may impact the profile of tenants and future demand from higher-income renters or buyers.
• Private rented housing is in the 36th percentile, so competition for tenants may not be as strong as in some neighbouring areas.

The outlook for Dukinfield property investors is quietly optimistic. The combination of strong rental yields at 6.4% and a steady pace of capital growth — 4.0% over the past year and 4.8% annualised over three years — suggests a balanced environment for both income and appreciation.

With asking rents for a 3-bedroom house at £1,325 and a 2-bedroom flat at N/A, the area remains accessible to renters, supporting ongoing demand. Liquidity appears healthy, given the average of 48 days on the market and 218 annual sales. Investors should watch for shifts in the area's demographic mix, but for now, Dukinfield offers a stable and appealing proposition for those seeking value and growth.
