Property investment stats for Kendal, North West

• The average rental yield of 4.2% and the top postcode district yield of 4.2% offer steady income potential for buy-to-let investors.
• Capital growth over three years has changed by 13.2%, with an annualised rate of 4.2%, showing that long-term investors have seen meaningful appreciation.
• The current median asking prices for three-bedroom houses (£300,000) and two-bedroom flats (£157,500) are relatively accessible, making entry into the market less daunting than in many urban centres.

• With a population aged 60+ in the 77th percentile and a families household percentile of just 21, demand growth from younger buyers or families may be limited.
• The private rented housing percentile is only 37, which could mean a smaller pool of renters compared to more urban or student-heavy locations.
• Properties are spending an average of 75 days on the market, so investors may need patience when selling or letting.

The outlook for Kendal is quietly optimistic. With capital values having changed by 1.7% in the past year and the three-year picture even stronger, investors who prefer slow-and-steady over boom-and-bust will find this market reassuring. The relatively high owner-occupier rate in the 67th percentile and low unemployment in the 2nd percentile help underpin local stability, even if rapid growth is unlikely.

Rental yields, while not headline-grabbing, are consistent at 4.2%, and the median asking rents for three-bedroom houses (£1,100) and two-bedroom flats (£1,012) remain in balance with local incomes. Expect Kendal to continue rewarding patient investors who value resilience and a steady hand over short-term gains.
