Buy-to-let hotspots revealed as landlords look north
Briefly

A recent study reveals that buy-to-let investors in the UK are increasingly targeting properties in northern England and the Midlands due to higher rental yields and lower purchase prices. In fact, nearly 39% of buy-to-let acquisitions in early 2025 were in these regions, up from 24% in 2007. This trend highlights a significant shift in investment behavior, driven by high property costs and limited yields in southern England. With average purchase prices substantially lower in the North and Midlands, landlords are drawn to these areas for potentially better returns.
The data shows nearly 39% of buy-to-let properties purchased in Britain during the first four months of 2025 were located in northern England and the Midlands.
This substantial price difference, coupled with potentially higher rental yields, makes the North and Midlands attractive for buy-to-let investors seeking better returns.
