Property investment stats for Linthwaite and Slaithwaite, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The area has delivered strong capital growth over the last year of 8.0% and over three years at 17.6%, which is attractive for investors seeking appreciation.
• With a median price per square foot of £234 per sq ft, entry costs are reasonable, and the price-to-income ratio of 4.2 keeps purchases accessible relative to local earnings.
• The top postcode district for rental yield offers 4.7%, providing opportunities for those focused on rental income.

• The average rental yield of 3.8% is not especially high compared to some other regions, which may limit cashflow for buy-to-let investors.
• The market's current strength, with properties selling at or above asking price (£0 (the typical achieved discount)), could mean limited scope for negotiation or value buys.
• A relatively high proportion of homes are privately rented (in the 73rd percentile), which could mean more competition for tenants and potential downward pressure on rents.

Given the recent capital growth of 8.0% and the three-year trend of 5.6%, Linthwaite and Slaithwaite look set for steady performance in the coming year. The lack of discounting between asking and achieved prices (£0 (the typical achieved discount)) suggests demand is still outpacing supply, and properties are not lingering unsold.

Affordability remains a draw, with both the price-to-income ratio of 4.2 and rent-to-income ratio of 18.7% making the area accessible for both buyers and renters. Liquidity is strong, as shown by homes selling in 43 days, so investors should expect decent exit opportunities. Overall, the outlook is positive but measured, with growth likely to continue at a sustainable pace rather than at breakneck speed.
