Stoke-on-Trent Tops UK Student Rental Yield League Table

Stoke-on-Trent has been identified as offering the strongest rental yields for landlords among the UK’s leading university locations. This finding comes from new analysis conducted by buy-to-let mortgage specialist Paragon Bank.

According to the report, Stoke-on-Trent, which serves the University of Staffordshire and nearby Keele University, recorded a student property yield of 9.42%. This figure is based on an average annual rental income of £14,222 and a property valuation of £150,982.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, these figures highlight Stoke-on-Trent as a key area of interest for student lets, with the potential for higher returns compared to other university cities. The data may influence landlord investment decisions and property management strategies in the student accommodation sector.
