Property investment stats for Urmston, North West

• Rental yields are competitive, with an average of 4.6% and the top postcode district yielding 4.6%, offering potential for steady income.
• The area’s strong family demographic in the 78th percentile and high professional population create reliable demand for quality homes.
• Liquidity is supported by a median time on market of 48 days, making it easier to buy and sell without long delays.

• The private rented sector is in the 11th percentile, so the tenant pool is smaller than in more transient areas, which may limit rapid expansion for portfolio landlords.
• The student population is average, in the 52nd percentile, so investors targeting student lets may not find Urmston as lucrative as other nearby locations.
• Achieved prices are typically £1,250 (the typical achieved discount) below asking, so sellers may need to be flexible on price.

Capital growth has been consistent, with a one-year figure of 1.6% and a three-year figure of 12.2%, indicating that the area has weathered recent market fluctuations well.
