Looking ahead, Hoyland’s combination of affordability and liquidity should continue to attract interest from investors who value steady, manageable returns. The quick sales process, with homes spending just 27 days on the market, hints at robust demand and limited supply, which could help underpin prices.
Rental yields are healthy at 4.8%, and with capital growth over the past year at 5.3%, there is evidence of ongoing momentum. However, the local market is shaped by a high proportion of social housing and a modest professional base, which may keep a lid on premium growth. Investors should expect stable, incremental gains rather than dramatic shifts, making Hoyland a sensible choice for those who prefer reliability over speculation.
