A complete guide to property investment in Mossley.
Last updated: 18 September 2025
Mossley is a spot where the numbers suggest a healthy balance between affordability and opportunity. The price-to-income ratio of 3.6 points to homes that are accessible for buyers, while the median price per square foot of £238 per sq ft keeps entry costs relatively grounded. The area’s annual sales of 155 and average days on market at 40 days indicate a market with decent liquidity; properties are moving, but not frantically. The owner-occupied housing percentile in the 63rd percentile and a strong presence of couples suggest a stable, settled community.
Rental investors will notice the average rental yield of 5.1% and the top postcode district yield of 5.1% are both attractive, and the rent-to-income ratio of 20.3% hints at reasonable affordability for tenants. The achieved price data — a median discount of £0 (the typical achieved discount) — implies sellers are getting what they ask for, or even a bit more.

Looking ahead, Mossley seems set for continued stability. The capital growth over one year at 2.8% and the annualised growth over three years at 4.9% both point to a market that rewards patience rather than speculation.
Rental demand should remain steady, especially given the rent-to-income ratio of 20.3% and the solid average rental yield of 5.1%. Liquidity looks reasonable, with homes spending 40 days before selling and sellers typically achieving their asking prices.
All in all, Mossley offers a reassuring mix of affordability, yield and gradual growth — a good fit for investors who prefer a steady hand over a rollercoaster ride.
