Property investment stats for Ulverston, North West

• The top postcode district offers a rental yield of 4.5%, which is higher than the area average and may appeal to yield-focused investors.
• With a median price per square foot of £263 per sq ft, entry costs remain accessible compared to many parts of the North West.
• The market’s annualised growth over three years of 5.1% suggests longer-term investors have seen decent returns.

• The one-year capital growth has changed by -4.2%, which could signal short-term volatility or a cooling market.
• There is a high proportion of single occupier households in the 96th percentile, which may affect demand for larger family homes.
• The median discount of £5,000 (the typical achieved discount) suggests buyers are negotiating on price, potentially impacting liquidity.

Ulverston’s property market looks set to remain stable, with affordability metrics like the price-to-income and rent-to-income ratios suggesting that both buyers and renters are not under excessive pressure. While the recent one-year capital growth of -4.2% may give some investors pause, the three-year annualised growth of 5.1% offers reassurance for those willing to take a longer view.

Rental yields, especially in the top-performing postcode district at 4.5%, will likely continue to attract buy-to-let investors seeking steady returns. The area’s older demographic — reflected by the high proportion of residents aged 60 and over — could mean ongoing demand for downsizer properties or retirement lets. Investors should expect a market that rewards patience and careful selection rather than chasing quick wins.
