Property investment stats for Goole, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The rental yield of 6.1% is attractive compared to many other towns, especially given the relatively low median price per square foot of £176 per sq ft.
• The high proportion of private rented housing (in the 85th percentile) means there’s a strong rental market to tap into.
• The asking rent for a 3-bedroom house of £800 and for a 2-bedroom flat of £725 show that rental demand remains healthy across different property types.

• The capital growth over 1 year of 0.1% and over 3 years of 1.6% are quite modest, so investors seeking fast appreciation may be disappointed.
• A low percentage of degree-educated residents and professionals (both in the bottom 2 percentiles) could limit future demand from higher-income tenants or buyers.
• The unemployment rate is in the 70th percentile, which could affect local economic stability and tenant reliability.

Goole’s property market looks set to remain steady over the next year. Affordability is a real strength, with the price-to-income ratio of 3.4 and median price per square foot of £176 per sq ft both supporting entry-level investors and those looking to expand portfolios. The annualised growth over 3 years of 0.5% has been muted, so don’t expect fireworks on the capital gains front, but the rental yield of 6.1% should keep income-focused investors interested.

The local market’s liquidity, shown by 254 and 55 days, suggests properties don’t linger unsold for long but aren’t flying off the shelves either. All in all, Goole offers a practical, income-driven investment case rather than a speculative one. If you’re after stability and rental returns rather than fast flips, this is a market worth a closer look.
