Buy-to-let investors are increasingly targeting northern England and the Midlands as they look for higher-yielding homes with lower buying costs, according to a property firm.
Nearly two-fifths (39%) of buy-to-lets purchased in Britain during the first four months of 2025 were in the North of England or the Midlands, Hamptons estimates, up from 24% in 2007 and 34% in 2022.
