Property investment stats for Little Lever, North West

• Rental yields are attractive, with an average of 4.6% and the top-performing postcode district offering 6.8%.
• The area’s strong capital growth over three years (21.2%) suggests potential for future appreciation.
• Properties are typically selling at or above asking price, as indicated by a median discount of £0 (the typical achieved discount), which points to healthy demand.

• The relatively low proportion of private rented housing (14th percentile) may limit tenant demand and liquidity for buy-to-let investors.
• The market is not especially fast-moving, with properties spending a median of 68 days before selling.
• The older population profile (73rd percentile for ages 60+) could affect future demand dynamics and rental turnover.

The next twelve months in Little Lever look cautiously optimistic. With annualised growth over three years at 6.6% and steady sales volumes (133), the market is showing resilience. The affordability metrics, particularly the price-to-income ratio of 4.6, suggest the area should remain accessible to both buyers and renters.

While the dominance of owner-occupiers means the rental market may not be as deep as in other areas, the combination of strong rental yields of 4.6% and properties selling at or above asking price bodes well for investors who can secure the right property. Long-term prospects will depend on how the area adapts to its ageing population, but for now, the fundamentals look sound.
