It pays for landlords to be unfashionable

We all know that landlords are deeply unfashionable, but according to new data from Findaproperty the more unfashionable a landlord is, the better yield he can achieve.

Findaproperty have compiled a list of the top 100 yielding areas for BTL property investments.........and in at number 1 with a bullet is the deeply unfashionable ......Blackpool.

Here's the top ten BTL yielding areas.
  1. Blackpool 5.34%
  2. Kingston upon Thames 5.26%
  3. Kirkcaldy 5.19%
  4. East London 4.99%
  5. Manchester 4.87%
  6. Durham 4.86%
  7. Romford 4.72%
  8. Uxbridge 4.63%
  9. London South East 4.62%
  10. Sunderland 4.55%
I remember trying to find a restaurant in Blackpool about ten years ago, god it was grim, I felt more fussy than Michael Winner, is it any better these days?

Don't know where they get these figures from, I own two properties in Sunderland which are achieving 9% & 11% yields!

Hawkeye said...

Well in this context,that makes you deeply unfashionable.
Well done on your high yields, Mr Keys.

@ MR Keys, I'm new to this game. How have you managed to achieve 11%? If you do not mind sharing your know-how?

Mark said...

MrKeys: perhaps they worked them out by asking more than one person, and taking an average. Just a guess.

South East is a big area geographically, it would be nice to know which specific areas are indicated
