Excellent Rental Returns
The Sheffield property market benefits from a combination of relatively low property prices and exceptionally high rents, allowing it to offer rental returns from 6-8% on funds invested.
High Capital Growth
Over the past 5 years, Sheffield has experienced average house price growth of 19.6%. It is forecasted to grow 28.2% over the next 5 years, exceeding the UK forecast of 2.2% per annum.
Excellent Rental Growth
Sheffield’s average rents have increased by 23% in the last 5 years according to PropertyData and are expected to continue on this trend over the next 5 years.
Early In Its Property Cycle
It’s fair to say that Sheffield is behind most other cities in the property cycle. That means that prices and rents are lower than other areas and so have further room for growth.
Rapidly Growing Population
According to Sheffield City Council, Sheffield is expected to see a 15% increase in its population by 2039, fuelling demand for high quality accommodation across the city.
Continual Investment
The city is set to undergo major redevelopment over the next decade including the £480 million Sheffield ‘Heart of the City II’ project and the West Bar regeneration project.
