Where are the best UK Buy-to-Let property investments?
When we talk about the best places to invest in UK property 2022, there’s a number of factors to consider. While some of these are obvious, it’s important to get a clear idea of what makes a good Buy-to-Let investment before we jump in. Key metrics we look at are:
Property Prices – Rental Yields – Tenant Demand – Population – Regeneration – Career Opportunities – Tenant Demographics – BTL Opportunities – Transport Links.
This allows us to build a complete picture of a location’s Buy-to-Let performance, while also highlighting emerging towns and cities that might not be traditional options for investment. For buyers, understanding these metrics is a great way of figuring out where to consider for a property investment in the UK.
UK house prices have risen at their fastest rate in over seven years – increasing by 10.9% compared to this time last year – highlighting the power that property investment in the UK can have for investors.
