Property investment stats for Swinton (Rotherham), Yorkshire and The Humber

• Rental yields are appealing, especially with the top postcode district showing a yield of 6.8%, which is well above average for the region.
• The median asking price for a 3-bedroom house is £195,000, making family homes accessible for buy-to-let or resale.
• Properties are selling quickly and at or above asking price, as shown by the median discount of £0 (the typical achieved discount) and days on market at 26 days, suggesting strong demand and limited supply.

• The degree-educated and professionals population is in the lower percentiles (9th and 20th), which could limit demand for higher-end properties or premium rentals.
• The proportion of private rented housing is low at the 10th percentile, which may restrict the size of the rental market and future rental growth.
• Social rented housing is in the 76th percentile, indicating a significant share of non-market housing that could affect resale values in some segments.

Looking ahead over the next year, Swinton is likely to continue offering stable returns for investors, given the combination of steady capital growth and robust rental yields. The annualised growth over three years of 2.2% speaks to a market that is neither overheated nor stagnant.

Affordability remains a key strength, with asking prices for both houses and flats (such as £195,000 for a 3-bed house and £100,000 for a 2-bed flat) within reach for many buyers. The strong liquidity and absence of discounts on sales suggest confidence among both buyers and sellers. While the local demographic mix may limit some premium opportunities, the fundamentals point to a resilient and accessible market for the coming year.
