Should you invest in Mexborough?
Opportunities
- High average rental yields of 8.2% make Mexborough attractive for buy-to-let investors.
- Affordability is a clear strength, with a price-to-income ratio of 3.9, making entry costs lower than many areas.
- The private rented sector is sizeable, sitting in the 65th percentile, indicating ongoing demand for rental properties.
Risks
- The area’s degree-educated and professional population is in the 1st percentile, which may limit future price growth.
- High unemployment, in the 90th percentile, could affect tenant stability and long-term capital appreciation.
- Social rented housing is also high, in the 90th percentile, which may influence the local market’s character and competition for private landlords.
Outlook
Rental investors are likely to remain interested, given the combination of 8.2% yields and affordable entry prices. The market’s stability is underpinned by a solid volume of sales (146) and properties selling close to or above asking price (£0 (the typical achieved discount)).
However, the limited presence of higher-earning or degree-educated residents may hold back significant capital growth, as seen in the modest 1.2% one-year and 1.1% annualised three-year growth rates. Investors should expect steady rather than spectacular appreciation, but the rental returns provide a cushion. Overall, Mexborough offers a compelling mix for yield-focused investors who value cash flow and affordability over rapid capital gains.
