Property investment stats for Thurnscoe, Yorkshire and The Humber

• Rental investors can take advantage of strong rental yields of 6.0%, with even higher returns in the top-performing district at 6.8%.
• The median asking rent for a 3-bedroom house is £1,350, which, relative to the median sale price of £160,000, supports a healthy rent-to-income ratio of 26.3%.
• Fast sales — homes spend just 22 days on the market — indicate good liquidity for those looking to buy or sell quickly.

• One-year capital growth has changed by -4.5%, so short-term price movement has not been positive.
• The area has a very low proportion of degree-educated residents and professionals, both in the 1st percentile, which could limit demand from higher-earning tenants or owner-occupiers.
• Social rented housing is in the 90th percentile, so investors may need to consider the impact of a large non-private rental sector.

Rental demand looks set to remain steady, given the strong showing of families and renters in the area. With annual sales at 120 and properties selling at their asking price — no median discount — there’s little sign of a buyers’ market right now.

Longer-term capital growth has been modest, with three-year growth at 4.4% and annualised growth at 1.4%, so investors should expect steady rather than spectacular price movement. The affordability metrics and brisk sales activity suggest Thurnscoe will stay appealing for value-driven buyers and income-focused landlords. While the area may not attract high earners or professionals in large numbers, the fundamentals for stable rental income remain strong.
