Property investment stats for Warrington, North West

• Rental yields remain compelling, with the average at 5.6% and the top postcode district achieving 6.3%, which can boost cash flow for landlords.
• The price-to-income ratio of 4.4 keeps entry costs reasonable for investors, supporting both buy-to-let and resale strategies.
• Family and couple households are in the 64th and 63rd percentiles respectively, suggesting strong demand for larger properties such as 3-bedroom houses with a current median asking sale price of £284,500 and rent of £1,250.

• One-year capital growth has changed by -3.0%, highlighting the potential for short-term price fluctuations.
• The private rented sector is only in the 38th percentile, which could mean more limited tenant demand compared to areas with a larger rental market.
• The student and degree-educated population percentiles are mid-range, which may limit appeal for investors targeting the student or young professional segments.

Warrington's fundamentals suggest ongoing stability for the next year, underpinned by accessible pricing and steady demand from families and couples. The annualised growth rate of 3.2% over three years shows that the area has delivered consistent returns, even if recent capital growth has changed by -3.0%.

Rental demand is likely to remain resilient, given the town's affordability and healthy rental yields. Liquidity is strong, with properties selling in a median of 34 days and a solid number of annual sales at 1,972. Investors should expect modest capital growth but can benefit from stable rental returns and reliable market activity.
