North East Pre-tenanted Property



Why the North East
  • Latest figures from the land registry show annual growth figures for the area are almost double the national average growth for similar property types
  • Property remains very affordable for the key first time buyer market with average terraces valued at £70,847, so there is still great growth potential.
  • Average local salary is £345.50 per week: 87 % of the national average. Yet the average property price is just 45% of the national average indicating that the property prices are still massively undervalued.
  • All areas we invest in have employment figures above that of the national average
  • Our properties are all below the stamp duty threshold
  • Crime figures in our areas are 3 per 1000 population compared to the national average of 6.4
