Investment summary

Queensbury sits at the higher end for owner-occupation, with a strong presence of couples and families shaping the local property market.

Should you invest in Queensbury?

Opportunities

  • The top postcode district delivers notably high rental yields of 6.2%, making it a standout for buy-to-let investors.
  • The area’s capital growth over one year is 8.3%, with annualised growth over three years at 4.4%, suggesting upward momentum for prices.
  • The price-to-income ratio of 4.0 and median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house at £950 both point to a market where affordability is still a draw for both buyers and renters.

Risks

  • Average rental yields of 3.7% may not be compelling compared to other parts of the region, so investors relying on income will need to be selective.
  • The market’s strong owner-occupier profile (in the 93rd percentile) may mean fewer rental opportunities and less turnover for investors.
  • The relatively low private rented sector (in the 30th percentile) may limit liquidity for those looking to exit buy-to-let investments quickly.

Outlook

Queensbury’s property market looks set for continued stability, with affordability remaining a key feature for both buyers and renters. The steady flow of sales at 141 per year and a median time on market of 44 days suggest that liquidity is reasonable for those looking to enter or exit the market. Capital growth has been positive, with a one-year increase of 8.3% and annualised three-year growth of 4.4%, supporting a mildly optimistic view for further price rises.

Rental yields are not exceptional on average, but the best-performing district stands out, so local knowledge will be rewarded. The dominance of owner-occupation and strong presence of families and couples suggest the area will remain popular with long-term residents, which may keep turnover low but underpin demand for quality homes. Investors seeking a reliable, steady market with a focus on families and affordability will likely find Queensbury a dependable, if unspectacular, choice.
