Sunderland - What’s going on?
Sunderland's house prices are lower compared to other northern UK buy-to-let areas, but the increased rental demand offers higher yields for investors. The major private and council lead developments in the inner-city area also signal potential for significant capital appreciation in the near future. These developments include; City Hall, Train Station Auditorium, several office blocks, hotels, 10,000 seater multi-purpose arena, dockland movie studio by the Fulwell 73 Group, and many more smaller private developments.
Sunderland is viewed as a "sleeping giant" with the potential for both high short-term yields and long-term capital growth for investors who purchase properties now.
According to Land Registry, the average house price in the city was £137,419 in December, outperforming the North East's 1.5% decrease in prices (average of £147,000) and surpassing the national average rise of 0.8%. In the past year, the average sale price of properties in Sunderland rose by £16,000.
