RW INVEST NORTH LTD

When it comes to the South East region of the UK, Portsmouth has a lot to offer a property investor.

The South of England is often seen as a less attractive prospect for those looking for property when compared to the North. This is due to high property prices and low rental yields on average. But Portsmouth is starting to get a reputation within the region as a better deal than other cities in the area.

There are several reasons for this. Firstly, Portsmouth property prices sit at around the UK average, while other parts of the South East are often pricier than the national average. The average price of a property in Portsmouth is £256,450 as of October 2023, which is cheaper than the UK average of £287,782. The city has also shown good capital value appreciation in the past, in an area that has been comparatively slow in the past few years,

Another reason is that the average rental yield in Portsmouth has been called the highest in the region.
