Should you invest in Guisborough?
Opportunities
- The median sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £249,750, which, combined with the median rent for the same property at £1,250, offers a straightforward rental proposition for family lets.
- The top postcode district for rental yield delivers 4.1%, providing a potential sweet spot for yield-focused investors.
- A median discount of £3,000 (the typical achieved discount) on achieved prices suggests there may be room to negotiate on purchases.
Risks
- The area sits in the 86th percentile for population aged 60 and over, which may impact future rental demand and market dynamism.
- The student population is low (24th percentile), so investors seeking steady student lets may find limited prospects.
- With families in the 26th percentile, demand for larger family homes could be softer compared to more family-oriented locations.
Outlook
Over the next twelve months, Guisborough is likely to see more of the same: steady, unspectacular growth and stable rental returns. The capital growth over one year of 2.0% and annualised growth over three years of 2.5% suggest that prices are ticking upward at a gentle pace.
Affordability remains a strength, so the area should appeal to both first-time buyers and value-conscious investors. However, the older population profile and modest rental yields mean investors should not expect a surge in demand or returns. Overall, Guisborough looks set to remain a safe, if somewhat reserved, option for those seeking reliability over rapid gains.
