Overall Property Scout score
Updated 2026-06-08
National-percentile scores from the Property Scout model.
A score of 80 means the area is in the top 20% of UK postcode districts for that metric. Scores are screening-grade and indicative — verify before purchase. Methodology.
How DY13 maps to common investor strategies.
Strength: 5.5% indicative gross yield against £230,458 entry price.
Concern: Yield is unlikely to lead a pure cash-flow shortlist.
Strength: 15.7% five-year price change recorded.
Concern: Growth pace has lagged the strongest UK districts.
Strength: Indicative HMO yield of 6.2% given local market signals.
Concern: Always confirm Article 4 and licensing by exact address.
Strength: Overall Property Scout score of 31/100 indicates a limited opportunity.
Concern: No single dimension dominates; treat as a shortlist candidate rather than a conviction pick.
Strength: Regulatory headroom 85/100 and economic backdrop 23/100.
Concern: Lower-risk investors should also confirm leasehold, EPC and ground-rent terms.
DY13 scores 26/100 for gross rental yield, weak versus the national distribution of UK postcode districts. Indicative average rent of £1,056 per month against an average price of £230,458 implies a headline gross yield of 5.5%. DY13 does not appear competitive on income grounds versus stronger-yielding districts in the same region.
Capital growth scores 44/100, supported by a five-year price change of 15.7%. Growth signals are limited; investors prioritising appreciation should compare against stronger-growth districts before committing. Past performance is not a guide to future returns and should be combined with planning, transport and employment context.
Tenant demand scores 0/100 (weak) based on the Property Scout demand index. Soft demand readings suggest investors should price conservatively and budget for longer void periods. The local economic backdrop scores 23, which may temper demand resilience in a softer market.
Supply constraint scores 0/100 — higher numbers indicate housing demand is growing faster than visible supply. Weaker supply pressure may cap rental growth, so investors should focus on properties with a defensible income story.
Regulatory RAG status is Green: no researched Article 4 or selective licensing restriction was found in this dataset. Score data is screening-grade; postcode districts can contain very different streets. Always verify cladding, leasehold, EPC and survey factors before purchase.
