A new study has revealed that Edinburgh is one of the top 5 most profitable UK cities for student landlords to invest in.
With the UK housing market continuing to grow and the rental sector booming, there are enticing opportunities in university towns for student landlords. Yet with 164 higher education options across the UK, which cities should landlords be looking to invest in?
We have worked with CIA Landlords to reveal The Best UK Cities for Student landlords. The student population of each city, the number of households and the average rent in student areas have all been analysed to find the most profitable opportunities for landlords.
EDINBURGH:
- Edinburgh student landlords are making over £568,428,420 per year
- Edinburgh rental prices cost students an average of £1,285 per month, the 5th most expensive in the UK.
- Edinburgh has the 10th highest student population which accounts for over 15% of the city’s overall population.
