Property investment stats for Havercroft and Ryhill, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The current median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house is £180,000, making it attractive for investors seeking value for money.
• Rental yields in the top-performing postcode district are 5.1%, which is competitive for the region.
• The area’s strong representation of couples and families, both in the 90th and 40th percentiles respectively, supports ongoing demand for family-sized homes.

• The proportion of degree-educated residents and professionals is low (both in the bottom 15th percentile), which may limit demand for higher-end properties.
• Social rented housing is in the 80th percentile, suggesting a significant portion of the market is not privately owned or rented, which could affect resale and rental demand.
• The student population is very low (in the bottom 10th percentile), so there is little opportunity for student lets or short-term rental strategies.

Looking ahead, the combination of affordability and recent capital growth suggests the local market will remain attractive to buyers seeking value and steady returns. The 7.4% over the past year is a positive sign, and the three-year annualised growth rate of 3.4% points to consistency rather than volatility.

Liquidity is reasonable, with homes spending around 40 days on the market. While the area may not appeal to every demographic, the high proportion of couples and families suggests stable demand for traditional homes. If the broader economic environment remains supportive, Havercroft and Ryhill are likely to continue offering solid, if unspectacular, investment returns.
