Property investment stats for Kippax, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The area offers strong rental yields of 4.9% in LS25, making it appealing for buy-to-let investors.
• With the median sale price for a 3-bedroom house at £257,500 and median rent at £1,450, the numbers stack up well for those seeking income alongside growth potential.
• The price-to-income ratio of 4.3 means properties are more accessible to local buyers, which could help support demand and future resale values.

• The private rented housing is in the 13th percentile, so tenant demand may not be as deep as in more rental-heavy areas.
• The degree-educated and professional population is below average (23rd and 40th percentiles), which may limit the area’s appeal to certain demographics or employers.
• The population aged 60+ is in the 65th percentile, suggesting a market that could be more exposed to demographic shifts over time.

Kippax’s property market looks set to continue its steady trajectory, with annual sales at 166 and homes moving in 34 days. The combination of modest capital growth over one and three years (2.3%, 11.1%) and a solid annualised rate (3.6%) paints a picture of slow and steady progress, not boom or bust.

Affordability remains a key strength, and the median achieved price matching or exceeding asking prices (£0 (the typical achieved discount)) hints at a healthy balance between buyers and sellers. For investors, the local rental market’s depth is a question mark, but strong yields in LS25 (4.9%) offer a compelling counterpoint.

Overall, expect more of the same: a stable, quietly performing market that rewards patience and doesn’t demand nerves of steel.
