Frequently asked
Why are Liverpool yields so much higher?
Capital values are roughly a third of the London average while rents are around half. That ratio produces higher income, with correspondingly slower capital growth.
Is student stock a good entry point?
Purpose-built student accommodation can produce high income but is far less liquid on exit. We generally steer first-time investors toward standard residential stock.
