Why invest in Leeds?

Considered the cultural, financial and commercial heart of the West Yorkshire Urban Area, Leeds is a thriving hub, central to the North of England. A contemporary city, with visions of becoming a ’24-hour European city’, it has a growing modern economy whilst reflecting its heritage and culture. This has proven to be a big draw to tourists, workers and investors alike, ensuring its desirability, and the reason why so many people consider investing in property in Leeds. Leeds is one of the largest and most centrally located cities in the UK. Named as the stand-out market to watch for rental growth by JLL, second only to Manchester in terms of house price growth expectations, Leeds is one of the UK’s most exciting rental markets.

Leeds sits at the heart of a wider city region with an economy worth over £62.5 billion per annum and the city’s economy has grown almost 40% over the last decade. Since 2011, employment has risen by 11,000 and Leeds now has the highest ratio of private to public sector jobs, of all major cities outside London.
