Read around LS25. Rents are advertised rents; the sale price is the average of completed sales in the last twelve months.
Garforth, to the east of Leeds, has rents that are broadly in line with or slightly below the Leeds average, reflecting its character as a former mining town that has become a popular commuter suburb. Housing here ranges from Victorian terraces near the town centre to postwar semi-detached and detached houses on the surrounding estates.
Garforth has its own railway station on the line between Leeds and York, giving residents a direct and fairly quick commute into Leeds city centre. The A63 and the M1 motorway are both close by, making Garforth a practical base for those who drive to work in Leeds or further afield, and Main Street forms the heart of the town's shops and services.
The tenant base in Garforth is largely made up of families and commuters, many working in Leeds city centre or further along the rail corridor towards York and Selby. The town's schools and parks make it attractive to households with children, and there is relatively little student demand compared with areas closer to the universities.
For a landlord, Garforth's rail and motorway links, combined with its family-friendly character, tend to produce settled tenancies in semi-detached and detached houses. This can mean fewer changeovers than in city centre flats, though landlords should be aware that family tenants often look for good local schools when choosing where to live. The town's proximity to the Leeds to York rail corridor also appeals to tenants working in York, Selby or the wider region rather than Leeds alone.

Finding your tenant
We manage, we do not let. When your property is empty we appoint one of the best letting agents in your area to find the tenant. Their fee is agreed with you in writing before anything starts, and Caso adds nothing to it. We brief the agent, approve the marketing, check every applicant's referencing, handle the move-in and protect the deposit. You deal with one company throughout.
- Agent chosen on results, not on who we know
- Fee agreed in writing before marketing starts
- Caso takes nothing from the agent
