Beyond Manchester: Unearthing Northern Powerhouse Gold with Off-Plan Buy-to-Let
The Northern Powerhouse narrative is evolving. While Manchester’s meteoric rise has been well-documented, its property market, having already experienced significant price surges, may offer less substantial capital appreciation compared to other emerging hubs. At Portico Invest, we’re focused on identifying the next wave of high-potential locations, particularly within the off-plan buy-to-let sector, where savvy investors can still unlock significant returns.
The Northern Powerhouse: A Shifting Landscape
The government’s commitment to the Northern Powerhouse, bolstered by major infrastructure projects like HS2, is reshaping the region’s economic landscape. This investment is not confined to the established giants; it’s creating ripples of opportunity in cities and regions primed for growth. While Manchester’s success is undeniable, we’re turning our attention to locations like Liverpool and Leicester, where the potential for capital appreciation and strong rental yields remains exceptionally strong. We are also looking at the Fylde coast, a region that is undergoing regeneration and is seeing increasing investment.
Why Off-Plan Buy-to-Let in Emerging Markets?
Off-plan investment offers a unique advantage: securing properties at pre-construction prices. This strategy allows investors to capitalise on future growth, particularly in areas where development is accelerating. Here’s why we’re focusing on regions beyond Manchester:
- Significant Capital Appreciation Potential: As cities like Liverpool and Leicester experience regeneration and economic expansion, property values are poised for substantial growth.
- Strong Rental Demand: Growing populations, fueled by job creation and improved connectivity, are driving demand for quality rental accommodation.
- HS2 Impact: The HS2 project is a game-changer, dramatically reducing travel times and connecting cities across the North and Midlands. This enhanced connectivity is attracting businesses and residents, boosting property values in its catchment areas, particularly in areas like Leicester.
- Liverpool’s Renaissance: Liverpool is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with major regeneration projects revitalizing its waterfront and city center. Its burgeoning creative and digital sectors are attracting a young, professional demographic, creating a strong rental market.
- Leicester’s Strategic Location: Leicester’s central location and excellent transport links, further enhanced by HS2, make it a highly desirable location for businesses and residents. Its diverse economy and growing population are driving demand for rental properties.
- The Fylde Coast’s Potential: The Fylde Coast is seeing increasing investment in its infrastructure and tourism industry. This, coupled with affordable property prices, makes it an attractive location for buy-to-let investors.
