North East of England to lead house price growth for next five years
While the future may seem difficult to predict right now, the analysts at Knight Frank have been hard at work making projections that account for wide range of variables, based on the most likely scenarios relating to the economy, employment figures and more. Their conclusion? The North East of England is the place to watch if you want to maximise your profit from property over the next five years.
The figures show a likely house price increase of 10.3% for the UK as a whole between 2019 and 2023. In the North East, that figure leaps to 13.6% – the highest rate of any area of the country. The projections bode well for property investment companies and their investors who have been looking closely at cities such as Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Newcastle and Gateshead offer strong market fundamentals
Newcastle and Gateshead face each other across the banks of the River Tyne. The combined NewcastleGateshead urban area is one that has a huge amount to offer and which has seen its population grow steadily in recent years. That growth is predicted to continue at least through to 2041, according to Office for National Statistics figures.
