Property investment stats for Stainforth, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The average rental yield of 6.9% is attractive for buy-to-let investors seeking steady income streams.
• Stainforth’s price-to-income ratio of 3.6 points to strong affordability relative to many UK markets, which may support ongoing demand from both renters and buyers.
• The dominance of families, in the 91st percentile, creates a consistent demand for larger homes such as the typical 3-bedroom house.

• The area is in the 99th percentile for unemployment, which could impact tenant stability and long-term capital growth.
• Social rented housing is extremely high, in the 97th percentile, suggesting limited owner-occupier demand and potentially more transient tenancies.
• The degree-educated and professional population is in the lowest percentiles, which may influence the types of tenants attracted and limit prospects for rapid price appreciation.

Over the next year, Stainforth is likely to remain a fundamentally affordable market, with current median asking sale prices for a 3-bedroom house at £152,500 and rents for similar properties at £825. Modest capital growth is evident, with 1-year capital growth at 2.3% and annualised growth over three years at 1.4%, so investors should expect steady rather than spectacular gains.

Liquidity should stay reasonable, given the average days on market of 41 days and the existing sales volume, though the high unemployment rate could temper demand. Overall, Stainforth offers reliable rental returns and low entry costs, but investors should be prepared for a market shaped by affordability and social housing rather than rapid price growth or gentrification.
