Why Northern England Is a Hotspot for Property Investment in 2025

The UK’s North–South divide isn’t just a cultural talking point, it’s also a major factor in the property market.

While London and the South East are known for sky-high prices and modest yields, regions like South Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and the Midlands are offering a different story: lower entry costs and higher returns.

Take Doncaster, for example:

• Strong tenant demand due to local economic growth

• Major employers like Amazon investing billions in logistics and operations

• Capital appreciation in some areas reaching 7–11% per year

Manchester

The key is knowing where to invest, and choosing locations with:

• Strong transport links

• Large employer presence

• Growing populations of professionals and key workers
