A complete guide to property investment in Finningley.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Finningley offers a balanced property market with a strong emphasis on families and couples, as seen in its position in the 91st and 93rd percentiles for these household types. The area features a high rate of owner-occupation, which is in the 87th percentile, and a relatively low proportion of social rented housing. Affordability is a key strength, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.4, making it more accessible compared to many other regions. The median price per square foot stands at £230 per sq ft, and three-bedroom houses are currently being marketed at a median price of £270,000.
Liquidity is reasonable, with properties spending an average of 53 days on the market and a median discount to asking price of £2,375 (the typical achieved discount).

Looking ahead over the next year, Finningley’s property market appears stable but not especially dynamic. The three-year annualised growth rate of 2.7% suggests modest but consistent appreciation over the medium term, despite the recent one-year change of -4.6%.
Affordability and strong demand from families and couples are likely to underpin prices, while the median asking rent for a three-bedroom house of £875 should support investor returns. Investors seeking capital growth may need to be patient, but those focused on yield and stability will find the fundamentals reassuring. The area’s high owner-occupation rate and reasonable days on market of 53 days reinforce its reputation as a solid, if unspectacular, place to invest.
