Property investment stats for Ripon, Yorkshire and The Humber

• Investors can find relatively strong rental yields in the area, with the top postcode district achieving yields of 4.2%.
• Recent capital growth has been positive, with a 1-year increase of 4.7% and a 3-year growth of 7.6%, pointing to stable performance.
• The median discount between achieved and asking prices is £1,250 (the typical achieved discount), which could present negotiation opportunities for buyers.

• The population skews older, with the 60+ age group in the 82nd percentile, which may limit future demand from younger renters or buyers.
• Rental yields, while stable, are moderate at 3.9%, and may not match returns available in higher-yielding urban areas.
• The student and young professional populations are both below the national median, which could affect rental demand growth.

Ripon’s property market is likely to remain steady over the next year, supported by a mature demographic and balanced tenures. With recent capital growth of 4.7% over the past year and an annualised rate of 2.5% over three years, investors can expect gradual, reliable performance rather than sharp increases.

Rental yields are not the highest, but the market’s stability and the median achieved discount of £1,250 (the typical achieved discount) suggest opportunities for careful buyers. Demand is unlikely to surge, given the older population and limited inflow of young professionals, but the area’s fundamentals look solid for those seeking long-term, low-volatility investments.
