The Knight Knox Podcast: The Best Buy-to-Let Hotspots For 2024

Are you looking for your next UK investment opportunity? Perhaps you want to learn more about some of the UK’s most profitable areas. Maybe you’d like to discover hidden gems you didn’t know about before. Episode 2 of ‘The Knight Knox Podcast’ is all about the best buy-to-let hotspots in the UK for 2024.

Join our property consultants Henry Oliver and Kyle Gore in the second edition of ‘The Knight Knox Podcast’, as they explore the UK property market and outline some of the most lucrative places to invest in 2024 and beyond. From the northern powerhouses of Manchester and Liverpool to the promising student hotspots of Huddersfield and Stoke-on-Trent: you’ll be able to discover which UK investment hotspots you should consider when building your wealth.

Manchester 

Manchester is one of the most promising and profitable places to invest in the UK right now. With a growing population consisting of families, professionals, and students alike – the city is an attractive investment opportunity not to be missed. Investors can earn an average yield of 7.5% in Manchester. This makes it a great opportunity for new and seasoned investors alike.  

With its vibrant cultural scene and nightlife, renowned universities, and excellent connectivity, investing in Manchester property provides a solid foundation for long-term returns and portfolio diversification. 

A great example of this is our Bridgewater Wharf development. It is situated in Salford and we offer investors 5.5% assured NET rental returns for 2 years. 

Liverpool

Another Northern powerhouse, Liverpool is quickly becoming an attractive investment option for those searching for higher returns at a lower cost. It is home to 70,000 students and a bustling and vibrant nightlife, and it is a great place to invest.  

A notable fact about Liverpool is they are set to share the same waterfront designers as the iconic Shanghai waterfront. This sets the city apart from many other similar locations in the UK.  

Our Alexandra Tower development is the 7th tallest building in Liverpool and it offers unrivalled views of the iconic Liverpool waterfront.  

Huddersfield

One of the biggest attributes of the growing economy in Huddersfield is its booming student population. The town is home to the award-winning University of Huddersfield. The University of Huddersfield is one of England’s leading universities. Ranking in the top three for the best-qualified university teaching staff according to the latest figures from HESA.  

Located adjacent to the new Health and Innovation campus, our Vision development offers 10% NET assured returns for 3 years.  

Stoke-on-Trent

Stoke-on-Trent, otherwise known as The Potteries, is the centre of the pottery industry in the UK. It is also a popular location for students, with its proximity to Staffordshire University. Staffordshire University’s main campus is in Stoke-on-Trent, featuring over £100m of professional-standard facilities.  

Our Axiom development is located just 1 mile from this campus and offers 10% NET assured returns over 3 years.  

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting out, our podcast offers valuable insights to help you make informed decisions and maximise your returns. But that’s just the beginning! Stay tuned for more episodes where we’ll cover a wide range of topics, from market trends and investment strategies to interviews with industry experts.
