Property investment stats for Lytham St Anne's, North West

• Rental yields are attractive, with an average of 5.3% and the top district achieving 5.4%, which may appeal to income-focused investors.
• The price-to-income ratio of 4.9 and rent-to-income ratio of 19.0% suggest affordability is better than in many other parts of the country, supporting both sales and rental demand.
• Median asking prices for both 3-bedroom houses (£299,000) and 2-bedroom flats (£190,000) remain accessible, which may help first-time buyers and downsizers enter the market.

• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -2.1%, which may worry those seeking short-term gains.
• The area’s low proportion of younger residents and families (both in the 5th and 6th percentiles) could limit future demand growth from these groups.
• The student population is small, so the market is less exposed to the rental demand spikes seen in university towns.

Lytham St Anne's has delivered a solid 12.6% over three years, with annualised growth at 4.0%, suggesting that despite recent market changes, long-term performance remains respectable. Investors can expect steady rental demand given the high share of both owner-occupiers and private renters, and the mature demographic profile.

The market is characterised by moderate liquidity and negotiable prices, which could favour buyers in the near term. While rapid capital appreciation is unlikely, the combination of affordability and reliable rental returns should continue to underpin investor interest over the next year.
