Why Byker

The Byker market story.

Byker offers some of Newcastle's strongest gross yields, sitting just east of the city centre with excellent transport links. The famous Byker Wall and ongoing regeneration around the Ouseburn Valley have shifted perception of the area, attracting younger renters priced out of Heaton and Jesmond. Entry prices remain well below the city average, making it a favourite for cash-flow-focused landlords.
