If this is the case, rental yield is a crucial statistic to consider.

If looking to invest, you should also consider other data about the area. The average rental income, the turnover of the sale of the house and what the net rental yields are like for the area do also have an impact on the final price of houses for sale in Appleton Wiske.

It is clear to see from the table below that there is a difference between all of these pieces of information and how they can be compared and contrasted on a county level (North Yorkshire), a regional level (North East) and finally on the level of the city talked about in this article, Appleton Wiske.

Average Yield Average Asking rent Turnover (rental) Turnover (sale)
Appleton Wiske no relevant data for this city no relevant data for this city no relevant data for this city £0
North Yorkshire 3.44% £908.89 121.00% 17.57%

Additionally, looking at the difference between the proportion of people with degrees and the UK average for this statistic (22.6%) should give you an idea of the affluence and education of the city.

A higher education level can therefore tell you if the house prices are likely to be high as the higher income level often results in people buying a bigger, more valuable house.

Having said this, whale education level can be a good factor to go by, there are also things like the rental yields, the population growth and social grades scores that can impact the value of a house and whether it will go up in value as time goes on.

What’s crime like in Appleton Wiske?

Either way, high crime rates are never a good sign so consider the rate against the UK average of 79.52 for every 1000 people as a benchmark.

Lower rates could mean things like home insurance is cheaper and you have to install fewer security measures throughout your house. Saving you money in the long run. So the statistic of crime rate (12300%) is both useful and is recommended to be compared to the average.
