Property investment stats for Strensall, Yorkshire and The Humber

A complete guide to property investment in Strensall.

Last updated: 18 September 2025

Investment summary

Strensall has seen brisk capital growth over the past year, with capital growth of 12.8% and a three-year change of 13.4%. The area is dominated by owner-occupiers, sitting in the 95th percentile, and has a distinctly family-oriented profile — families and couples are both in the top percentiles nationwide. With a price-to-income ratio of 4.7, affordability sits in a comfortable range compared to most of the region. The market is not especially fast-moving, with properties taking a median of 91 days to sell, but sellers are still achieving prices close to asking, with a median discount of £2,500 (the typical achieved discount).

Rental stock is scarce, which is no surprise given the low proportion of private rented housing, but the top local rental yield clocks in at 5.0% — not headline-grabbing, but solid for this kind of area.

Should you invest in Strensall?

Opportunities

  • The area’s strong one-year capital growth of 12.8% suggests momentum for those looking for capital appreciation.
  • With a price-to-income ratio of 4.7, Strensall offers a level of affordability that’s appealing for families and first-time buyers alike.
  • The median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house is £1,400, which, when paired with the top local rental yield of 5.0%, could suit investors seeking steady, predictable returns.

Risks

  • Liquidity is middling; properties take a median of 91 days to sell, so investors may need patience when exiting.
  • The area’s low proportion of private renters (18th percentile) means rental demand may be more limited than in urban hotspots.
  • With owner-occupation in the 95th percentile, there’s less churn, so finding motivated sellers or buyers can be a slower process.

Outlook

Outlook for Strensall over the next year is mildly positive. The market’s recent capital growth — 12.8% over the past year and 4.3% annualised over three — signals ongoing appeal, especially to family buyers.

Rental yields are steady rather than spectacular, but with limited rental stock and strong demand from families, voids should be rare. The area’s high proportion of owner-occupiers and low turnover may keep supply tight, supporting prices.

Anyone investing here should be prepared for a slower pace, but the fundamentals look resilient.
