Property investment stats for Pudsey, Yorkshire and The Humber

• Rental yields are attractive at 5.3%, especially in the top postcode district where yields reach 5.2%.
• The relatively low price-to-income ratio of 4.4 signals good affordability, which supports both buyer and tenant demand.
• Properties are selling close to their asking prices (with a median discount of £0 (the typical achieved discount)) and spend only 42 days on the market, suggesting strong liquidity and limited risk of long void periods.

• The rent-to-income ratio of 19.8% may limit how much further rents can grow without affordability pressures emerging for tenants.
• The proportion of private rented housing is only in the 49th percentile, so the rental market is balanced but not especially dominant.
• Capital growth has been steady rather than spectacular, with an annualised rate of 5.2%, which may not appeal to investors seeking rapid appreciation.

Pudsey's outlook for the next twelve months appears steady, with demand supported by a mix of professional and managerial residents (in the 63rd percentile nationally) and a high proportion of couples and single occupier households. The affordability metrics, including a price-to-income ratio of 4.4, should help underpin both sales and rental markets, even if wider market conditions become more challenging. Rental yields of 5.3% and strong liquidity (with properties typically selling in 42 days) provide reassurance for investors focused on income and turnover.

While capital growth may not accelerate dramatically, the recent change of 3.1% over the past year and 16.5% over three years suggests a reliable, if unspectacular, upward trend. Overall, Pudsey looks well placed for investors who value stability, decent returns, and a market that is neither overheated nor stagnant.
