A complete guide to property investment in Hedon.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Hedon sits on the edge of Hull, offering a quieter lifestyle while still being within reach of urban amenities. The area shows steady growth, with a capital growth over 1 year of 2.5% and a 3-year growth of 6.2%, suggesting a reliable, if unspectacular, trajectory for capital appreciation. The median price per square foot stands at £209 per sq ft, which is attractive compared to many other parts of the country, and the price-to-income ratio of 3.8 indicates that homes here remain relatively affordable for local buyers.

Liquidity looks reasonable, with annual sales at 127 and properties spending an average of 85 days on the market. The fact that the median discount achieved is £0 (the typical achieved discount) means sellers are generally getting their asking price, which suggests a balanced market without heavy downward pressure on values.

Should you invest in Hedon?

Opportunities

  • The top postcode district rental yield of 5.0% points to solid income potential for buy-to-let investors.
  • Affordable entry prices, such as a median sale price for a 3-bedroom house at £217,500 and 2-bedroom flats at £109,500, make it easier to start or expand a portfolio.
  • The high percentage of owner-occupied housing (in the 86th percentile) could indicate a stable, settled community, which often supports long-term value retention.

Risks

  • The population skews older, with those aged 60 and above in the 94th percentile, which may impact long-term rental demand and limit future buyer pools.
  • The area has a relatively low proportion of families and young professionals, with families in the 19th percentile and professionals and managers in the 40th percentile, which could affect future growth prospects.
  • Private rented housing is only in the 65th percentile, so while there is some rental demand, it is not as pronounced as in more urbanised areas.

Outlook

Hedon’s property market looks set to continue its steady path, with annualised growth over three years of 2.0% supporting the case for gradual, reliable appreciation. The combination of affordable prices per square foot and homes selling at or above asking price suggests that demand is matched well to supply, keeping volatility low.

Rental yields in the area’s best-performing postcode are respectable, and the market’s stability should appeal to investors looking for long-term, low-drama assets. The older demographic and moderate rental demand mean that spectacular growth is unlikely, but so are sharp downturns. For those seeking a balanced, conservative investment in Yorkshire, Hedon offers a quietly confident proposition.
