Buying Homes in Leicester

For owner occupiers, Leicester is a really fantastic place to live. Having invested heavily in its regeneration, the city provides a unique living experience, while the buoyant local economy offers strong work and education opportunities for all residents too.

Additional improvements planned for the future will benefit residents further still. The £25 million regeneration of the Leicester Waterside will create a thriving new neighbourhood and space for local businesses to flourish. Leicester City Council’s, “Connecting Leicester”, which focuses on improving transport links between areas of the city, will help connect Leicester’s residents and tourists alike.

Why Invest in Leicester?

Having been rated as one of the UK’s highest profile and forward-looking cities, Leicester is fast becoming the Midland’s most sought after city. The multi-million-pound development and regeneration of the city has transformed it into a property hotspot with rental demand rising sharply as more people head to the city to study, work and start a family.

For the buy-to-let investor Leicester presents a huge opportunity. The large student population from the city’s three growing universities presents an evergreen source of rental demand. Combined with the city’s ongoing redevelopment, it has helped cement Leicester as a focal place to build and develop business, attracting a growing number of young professionals.

Furthermore, as property prices have gradually risen, the attractive yields created have placed Leicester at number five in the UK’s buy-to-let hotspots league. If you are looking for investment property in Leicester there hasn’t been a better time to make your move.
