Why Hull Is a Rising City for Buy-to-Let Investors in 2025
As we move further into 2025, one thing is becoming increasingly clear—Hull is no longer the UK’s best-kept secret in the property world. With rising demand, robust rental yields, and a city-wide regeneration effort that continues to gather momentum, Hull is fast becoming a go-to destination for savvy buy-to-let investors.
At CityGate North, we’ve been on the ground floor of Hull’s transformation, and we’re seeing firsthand why this northern powerhouse is attracting attention across the country.
Strong Rental Yields, Low Entry Costs
Hull offers one of the best price-to-rent ratios in the UK. Property prices remain accessible compared to the national average, while rental demand continues to outpace supply—particularly in high-density student areas, family-friendly suburbs, and commuter zones.
With gross rental yields regularly hitting 7–12%, investors can achieve healthy cash flow without the steep entry costs associated with larger cities.
Ongoing Regeneration and Infrastructure Investment
Major developments like the Albion Square project, A63 Castle Street upgrades, and new digital innovation hubs are reshaping the city’s landscape. Hull’s economy is becoming increasingly diversified, with strong growth in renewable energy, logistics, and tech sectors—bringing in new jobs, talent, and demand for quality rental housing.
A Young, Growing Population
With two large universities and a growing graduate population choosing to stay local, Hull offers consistent rental demand in student and young professional markets. Many young people are priced out of ownership, driving long-term demand for flexible, high-quality rental accommodation.
A Gateway City with National Reach
Located on the Humber Estuary with direct transport links to Leeds, York, and beyond, Hull is strategically placed for both domestic and international commerce. That makes it not only attractive for investors, but for renters looking for affordability without compromising connectivity.
