Stockton-on-Tees - steady growth, and what it means for your yield

Stockton-on-Tees' average house price is up 3.0% this year, while rent has grown faster, up 5.0%. Both are a little behind the North East as a whole, but the gap between rent and price growth still works in landlords' favour.

📊 The numbers

At £170,000, Stockton-on-Tees has the fourth highest average house price in the North East. Average rent of £738 a month is below the North East average of £776, but the gap between rent and price growth still points to improving yields. Here's how that plays out by property type.

👀 One to watch: Stockton Waterfront

Stockton Waterfront urban park opened in late June this year, the result of five years of transformation along the River Tees. It's four times the size of Trafalgar Square, and already hosting events like the Stockton International Riverside Festival. It's the first visible step in a much bigger plan - Tees Central, one of the UK's largest brownfield regeneration sites, with proposals for up to 3,000 new homes and a million square feet of employment space nearby. Stockton's own council has explicitly called the park "only the beginning" of that journey. It's still early days for any price impact, but it's the kind of large-scale, long-term investment worth keeping on your radar.
