Why does the north attract so many property investors?

‍

Over the last decade, demand for UK property investment has become popular the world over. The strength of the market, combined with some of the most regimented regulations has ensured most investors looking to make a return in property choose to invest in the UK.

In particular, the northern cities of the UK come to mind when discussing property investment, including Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Bradford and Sheffield. It is true that these urban centres are thriving, not just in the residential market but also in the student housing sector.

Moreover, the surrounding suburban districts are also enjoying significant growth too, with many happy to reside a bit further from the core yet with decent transportation routes into busy areas for work.

According to data from the most recent 12 months from the HM Land Registry, Manchester's house prices increased by 14.7% over the previous year, while those in Leeds, Liverpool, Bradford and Sheffield increased by 15.5%, 14.1%, 13%, and 14.4%, respectively.

Clearly, the market in these areas is expanding swiftly, and the returns there are far greater than those in other investment categories such as commodities, crypto and bonds.

The overall state of UK property market is excellent, but it must be acknowledged that residential, off-plan, and student properties in regions all across the north are seeing tremendous development as a result of strong local economies and thriving student populations.
