As a buy-to-let investor, you may rule out properties in specific areas because the average property price is too high. One thing you should look for is areas on the brink of regeneration.
Look at the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool as an example. Twenty years ago, that area was a collection of unused warehouses. Thanks to ongoing regeneration efforts, it has become one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world (per Time Out) and attracts businesses, start-ups, and—most importantly—tenants who want to be a part of a hip and vibrant community.
With further regeneration plans – a new train station, community park, and a host of stunning residential developments – to boost the area further, areas like this will help your property skyrocket in value.
