Student property - Birmingham is UK's leading buy-to-let hotspot

The UK's second city Birmingham takes top spot when it comes to student property returns for buy-to-let investors.

Analysis by online letting agency Urban.co.uk calculates an average rental yield of 11.66% in the areas surrounding both Aston and Birmingham City universities.

Other locations where landlords can pick up a bargain student property and achieve generous returns include the areas around Teeside University, Leeds Arts University, the University of Edinburgh, Nottingham Trent University and Bangor University - all of which have an average rental yield of over 8%.

The research shows that the worst locations for buy-to-let investment in the student market are in Prime Central London. 

According to Urban, the least desirable university to purchase a property close by is South Kensington's Heythrop College with an average expected yield of just 2.49% per year.

Other poor performers include the University of Westminster (2.67%), the University of Cambridge (2.87%), Anglia Ruskin University (2.92%) and Leeds Trinity University (2.93%).

 

"The buy-to-let market will always be a profitable business close to the nation’s university campuses despite the impositions that have been forced on the buy-to-let market of late, as thousands of students are in desperate need for accommodation every year," explains Adam Male, founder of Urban.co.uk.

"Although the housing market is stronger in London and the South East in terms of actual prices, the Midlands and further north provides a much more attractive proposition in terms of rental yields and these areas are also home to some of the UK’s top universities."

    The second greatest city in the UK is the core of the nation and home to 4.5 million. There is a genuine deficiency of rental settlement, which is pushing property costs up.

    The request is especially solid in zones like Edgbaston and Hales Owen, and any money purchasers could do well out of non-customary properties in zones like Kings Norton.

    Birmingham is a relatively huge city in the UK. Two primary things to things to take into consideration when allocating a budget would be tuition costs and student accommodation costs. Tuition costs are pretty straightforward and can be found on the university's site. However, with accommodation costs, you can be much more adaptable. If you opt for University-possessed/oversaw accommodation, you are looking at around £150 and up rent per week for self-provided food and around £170 for catered halls.
