Real, Land Registry-backed price, yield and risk data for the UK's most searched-for buy-to-let cities, not generic estimates.
London
The UK's largest and most liquid rental market, at a significant price premium over the rest of this list.
Manchester
A long-standing BTL and HMO hotspot on the back of regeneration and two universities.
Liverpool
Some of the highest gross yields in England, driven by low entry prices.

A large professional rental market and strong student demand around the universities.

The UK's second city, with major regeneration around HS2 and the Commonwealth Games legacy.
Nottingham
Two large universities and consistently strong HMO demand.
Sheffield
Lower entry prices than its Yorkshire neighbours, with a growing student population.
Newcastle
A regional hub with strong rental demand and comparatively affordable stock.
Bristol
Higher prices than most on this list, offset by strong long-term capital growth.

Leicester
A well-established HMO and student-let market with comparatively low entry prices.
