The North East consistently leads the UK for gross rental yields. Low entry prices, strong tenant demand and billions in regeneration investment make it the most compelling region for property investment in England.
When you compare gross rental yields across every region in England, the North East sits at the top — and by a meaningful margin. More yield per pound invested than anywhere else in the country.

The average North East property price of £114,000 is the lowest in England — significantly below the national average of £285,000. Lower entry price means more yield per pound invested and lower capital at risk.
Sunderland, Gateshead and County Durham consistently rank among the top postcodes in the country for gross rental yield. Areas like SR4 and NE8 regularly deliver 9%+ on well-managed buy-to-let properties.
