Property investment stats for Wickersley and Bramley, Yorkshire and The Humber

• The area offers strong rental yields of 4.9%, with the top postcode district reaching 5.8%, making it attractive for buy-to-let investors.
• Affordability stands out, with a price-to-income ratio of 4.4 and a rent-to-income ratio of 20.3%, supporting stable demand from both buyers and renters.
• Properties spend just 33 days on the market, indicating good liquidity and the ability to move assets quickly if needed.

• Capital growth over the past year has changed by -4.2%, which may give some investors pause if short-term appreciation is a priority.
• The area has a relatively low proportion of young adults and students, which could limit demand for smaller flats or HMOs.
• The private rental sector is in the 39th percentile, so competition for tenants may be less intense than in areas with higher rental demand.

Looking ahead, the market in Wickersley and Bramley is likely to remain steady, buoyed by strong owner-occupier demand and a high share of families and couples. While capital growth over the past year has changed by -4.2%, the three-year annualised rate of 1.7% suggests a more positive longer-term trend.

Rental yields should stay attractive, especially in the top-performing postcode district, and affordability metrics will keep the area appealing for both new buyers and renters. Liquidity is a plus, with homes selling in just 33 days, so investors can expect a reasonable turnaround. Overall, I see mild optimism for investors who are focused on income and steady performance rather than rapid capital gains.
