Latest research has found that the highest yielding destinations for student landlord investment have been reported to be the Northern cities of Glasgow, Manchester and Hull, statistics that Belvoir Sheffield suggest are echoed throughout South Yorkshire.
The research initially conducted by Zoopla found that there was in fact lower profit margins coming from certain southern cities such as Bristol.
The survey took the average asking prices for four bed properties within major student centres, and compares said prices with the average student rents achieved, thus presenting a gross yield.
Rick Flay, Director at Belvoir Sheffield, who offer a wide range of houses to rent in Sheffield, said: "This new research shows that yields are higher the further north that you choose to invest. Here at Belvoir Sheffield we are finding yields in South Yorkshire to be stable and much higher than in the south.
"Yields are often lower from student accommodation, but the consistency of demand makes students a fantastic target market. The key to renting properties successfully to students lies with having the right support network around you and selecting a professional lettings agent to handle your properties for you."
Rick, whose estate and letting agency on Campo Lane in Sheffield, specialises in providing student properties in Sheffield, added: "Sheffield has a large student market and there is a great upwards impact on the market as more students return to study in the city for the new academic year. I would like to invite any landlords looking to invest in student accommodation, to contact is for a free no obligation meeting to discuss their plans."
