Why investors look at Hull
Buying property in Hull costs less than in most English cities, yet the city has steady demand from people who rent: students at the University of Hull, staff at the city’s hospitals, and workers in the port and renewable energy industries. That combination of lower purchase prices and reliable tenant demand is why buy-to-let investors keep coming back to Hull.

Buy-to-let in Hull: what to look at
Rent against price
Gross yield is the annual rent divided by the purchase price. As an example only, a house bought for £80,000 and let at £600 a month (£7,200 a year) has a gross yield of 9%. We’ll help you check the rent side of that sum against real local lettings.
Who rents in the area
Different parts of Hull suit different tenants. Around Newland Avenue and the university there is strong demand from students and young professionals. The Avenues and Chanterlands are popular with professionals and families. City centre flats suit people working in town.
Running costs
Allow for management fees, insurance, maintenance, safety certificates and the odd empty week between tenants. Our landlord fees are published in full, so you can build them into your figures from the start.
Licensing
A house let to five or more people from more than one household needs a mandatory HMO licence from the council. Check with Hull City Council for any other licensing that applies to the street you’re buying in. We can talk you through it before you buy.

FAQs
Investor questions
Is Hull a good place for buy-to-let?
Hull's purchase prices are lower than much of the UK, while rental demand is supported by the University of Hull, the city's hospitals and its port and renewable energy employers. Returns still depend on buying the right property in the right street, which is where local knowledge matters.
What rental yield can I expect in Hull?
It varies a lot by area and property type. We'll show you what comparable properties are actually letting for, so you can work out the yield on real figures before you buy.
Do you sell investment properties with tenants in place?
Yes. Our investment sales team, My Pad Sales (Yorkshire) Limited, markets tenanted properties and portfolios, so you can buy with rent coming in from day one.
Can MyPad manage the property after I buy it?
Yes. Full management of a residential let is 12% including VAT with no rent, no fee, and HMOs are 18% including VAT. You don't need to live locally to own property in Hull.
Do you help with HMO investments?
Yes. We manage HMOs, including communal area inspections, and can talk you through what's involved in licensing and running a shared house.
