Property investment stats for Swallownest and Aston, Yorkshire and The Humber

• Investors can benefit from a relatively affordable entry point, given the median price per sq ft of £248 per sq ft and the current median asking SALE price of a 3-bedroom house at £227,500.
• The area’s average rental yield of 4.5%, and the fact that the top postcode district achieves 5.2%, provide a base for stable rental income.
• With a strong presence of families and owner-occupiers, demand for three-bedroom houses (where the median rent is £1,150) is likely to remain resilient.

• The low proportion of private rented housing (in the 13th percentile) could limit tenant demand and liquidity for rental properties.
• Social rented housing is relatively high (in the 70th percentile), which might cap upward price movement in some sub-markets.
• The area’s degree-educated and professional population is below average (16th and 26th percentiles), which could affect long-term demand for higher-end or premium rentals.

Looking ahead, Swallownest and Aston’s property market seems set for continued stability rather than rapid growth. The capital growth over 1 year of 2.1% and annualised growth over 3 years of 4.0% both suggest slow but positive momentum. Affordability remains a key strength, and this should underpin steady demand from families and owner-occupiers, especially as the median asking price for a 2-bedroom flat is £109,000.

Rental yields are likely to hold up, particularly in the strongest local postcodes, but the smaller private rental sector means investors should be selective. Overall, the area looks like a safe bet for those prioritising income and stability over speculative capital gains.
