Property investment stats for Sherburn in Elmet, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The area has shown impressive capital growth, with a 1-year increase of 7.8% and a 3-year growth of 13.7%, which will appeal to those seeking appreciation potential.
• Properties are selling for their asking price on average (median discount of £0 (the typical achieved discount)), which indicates strong liquidity and buyer confidence.
• The price-to-income ratio of 4.5 and the median asking sale price for a 3-bedroom house at £280,000 suggest affordability remains reasonable for the region.

• The private rental sector is very small (in the 5th percentile), so investors may find limited tenant demand or face competition from a small pool of renters.
• Rental yields are steady at 3.8%, but not especially high compared to some other regions, which may limit cashflow potential.
• The local market is dominated by owner-occupiers and families, so buy-to-let investors may need to tailor offerings carefully to attract the right tenants.

The outlook for Sherburn in Elmet remains positive, with recent capital growth of 7.8% over one year and an annualised three-year growth of 4.4%. This, combined with properties moving quickly (just 29 days on the market) and buyers paying the full asking price, supports the view that demand is set to remain strong.

While the private rental market is limited, the area’s appeal to families and couples, along with a high proportion of professionals and managers (in the 60th percentile), underpins the stability of the owner-occupier market. Investors should expect steady performance rather than spectacular rental returns, but with affordability and liquidity both in their favour, Sherburn in Elmet is likely to continue attracting interest from buyers looking for long-term growth and dependable demand.
