Why invest in Newcastle-Under-Lyme?

Newcastle-under-Lyme is a historic market town on the outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent that has a population of 75,125 with a catchment area in excess of 140,000. The town has become a hub for education with Keele University and the Royal Stoke University Hospital both having campuses there. In addition to this, the University of Staffordshire is also in nearby Stoke-on-Trent. It’s for this reason that Newcastle-under-Lyme is attracting students in their droves with both Keele and Staffordshire Universities totalling around 9,360 and 14,910 full-time students respectively. The influx of students is putting a huge strain on the limited supply of student housing between both universities, so there is currently a huge demand for student beds across Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas.

Newcastle-under-Lyme also benefits from excellent transport links with easy access to the M6 motorway which links the town to Scotland and Birmingham, as well as direct rail links to London (1hr 25mins), Manchester (40 mins) and Birmingham (50 mins). Newcastle-under-Lyme also has access to two international airports, with both Manchester and Birmingham being within an hour’s drive of the town.
