Should you invest in Silsden?

Opportunities

  • The top postcode district offers rental yields of 4.4%, which is higher than the area average and may appeal to yield-focused investors.
  • Over three years, capital values have grown by 15.2%, indicating potential for long-term appreciation.
  • Properties are selling with a median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount), suggesting there is room for negotiation on asking prices.

Risks

  • The past year has seen capital values change by -4.6%, which may concern those seeking short-term gains.
  • Average rental yields of 3.4% are modest, so income-focused investors should set expectations accordingly.
  • With properties taking around 80 days to sell, liquidity may not be as strong as in faster-moving markets.

Outlook

Looking ahead, Silsden's property market appears stable, with moderate long-term growth evidenced by the annualised three-year increase of 4.8%. While the recent one-year change in capital values of -4.6% suggests some short-term caution, the overall trajectory over several years remains positive. Investors can expect a balanced market, where negotiation is possible and buyers are not under excessive pressure to act quickly, given the typical 80 days properties spend on the market.

Rental yields are steady, if not spectacular, at 3.4%, with some districts offering a bit more for those willing to seek them out. Affordability remains reasonable, with the median price per square foot at £259 per sq ft and a typical three-bedroom house asking £270,000 for sale or £1,325 to rent. Overall, Silsden is likely to appeal to investors with a long-term outlook who value stability and the potential for gradual appreciation.
