Savills recently published a report that revealed Manchester as the leading UK city for residential property investment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Savills report<\/a> provided an overview of the rental market across all of the UK.<\/p>\n

The Rental Britain Report predicted that the market will keep growing by more than 1 million households over the next five years. This is forecast to happen despite all measures taken by the Government to turn generation rent into generation buy.<\/p>\n

In 2015 investment deals of a total of \u00a32.6bn were recorded across Britain. Furthermore, the report stated that the existing mismatch between supply and demand will continue to support the growth of rental demand.<\/p>\n

Other than that, the review explained that investors are developing an increasing confident in regional cities and are now looking beyond London. As special investment highlights Savills mentioned Manchester in first place, followed by Reading, Edinburgh and Bristol.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s mainly the better opportunities and higher yields that lead investors to look outside of London, whilst the barriers for first-time buyers to get onto the property ladder stay the same.<\/p>\n

As the main reasons the report names the requirement for a sizeable deposit and stricter lending criteria, which lead to a continuing rise in demand for rental housing. According to the Government\u2019s English Housing Survey, the rental market has been increasing by an overwhelming 17,500 households on average every month in the 10 years to 2014.<\/p>\n

These are the criteria the report used to allocate Manchester as the city with the highest residential property investment potential:<\/p>\n
