Property investment stats for Hebden Bridge, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The area offers strong rental yields in HX7 of 4.0%, which is appealing for investors seeking stable rental returns.
• Properties are selling quickly and at asking price, as shown by the median discount of £0 (the typical achieved discount) and median days on market of 27 days, suggesting good liquidity.
• The price-to-income ratio of 4.2 makes it relatively affordable compared to many other desirable areas, supporting both sales and rental demand.

• The population skews older, with a low proportion of residents in their 20s and 30s, which may limit demand for certain types of rental stock.
• The student and family population percentiles are low, reducing the potential for high turnover or student-led rental demand.
• The rental market is dominated by single and couple households, so properties suited to larger families may see weaker demand.

Over the next year, Hebden Bridge is likely to remain attractive for investors who value stability and steady growth, given the annualised growth over three years of 5.3%. Liquidity should continue to be a positive feature, with homes selling briskly and sellers achieving their asking prices.

Rental demand is expected to stay strong among professionals and older singles or couples, especially as the median asking rent for a two-bedroom flat is £1,095. However, the lack of younger residents and families may keep a lid on rapid rental growth or turnover. Overall, the area’s mix of affordability, strong professional demographic and recent price growth suggests a solid if unspectacular year ahead for investors.
