Why should you invest in Derby?
Derby’s rapidly growing population, ambitious regeneration schemes, strong employment opportunities, youthful demographic, and excellent connectivity make it one of the best places to invest in rental property for the future.

The city’s property market is predicted to see a 17.5% growth by 2026, and with 46% of graduates moving to Derby for work and its ranking as the 6th most productive city in the UK, investing in property in Derby is an opportunity not to be wasted.

Looking a little closer, these are the reasons
why Derby should be on your shortlist:

A Growing
Population
Located at the heart of the UK, Derby is expected to see a population increase of 9.5% by 2028...
equating to 21,300 new jobs. This growth is fueled by the 2030 Derby Masterplan, a £3.5 billion investment aimed at revitalising the city while maintaining its industrial heritage.

This has positioned Derby as a key investment destination in the UK, with excellent connectivity, including a rail catchment of over 800,000 and 17 universities within an hour’s travel.

Stable
Economy
Derby's economy is bolstered by its manufacturing sector, providing over 45,000...
jobs from engineering giants like Rolls Royce, Toyota and Bombardier Transportation.

Almost 40% of its workforce is employed in professional roles across various industries, driving rising tenant demand.

Over 4,500 jobs have been created in the past three years, attracting new commuters and contributing to the increasing tenant base for investors.

High-Yield
Property
The property market in Derby is one of the most affordable and highest-yielding assets in the country...
Over the last decade, property values have risen by £67,000, and with only 17,800 rental properties available in the city, there is an enormous investment opportunity.

The city is attractive to young professionals and families, with half of its residents under 35, and a graduate retention rate of 23%. Moreover, Derby is ranked second in the UK for cities with millennial start-ups, and one in eight people work in its high-tech sector.

Connected to Greatness
The East Midlands, including Derby, is a hub of connectivity by road, air, or rail. The HS2 ...
high-speed trains will increase Derby’s connections across the UK, making Birmingham and London easily accessible.

This, combined with a growing population of ambitious young professionals and a student population of over 30,000, signifies increasing future tenant demand.

Property Investment Potential

Derby offers a balance of work, live, and play, with a vibrant culture, food markets, designer...
outlets historic landmarks, and an eclectic mix of activities.

The Derby City Centre Masterplan aims to leverage £3.5 billion worth of investments by 2030, creating over 4,000 additional jobs and potentially up to 74,000 more by 2043.

Despite plans to deliver around 15,000 additional homes, the current demand is unlikely to be satisfied, driving property values and rental market growth beyond the current average yield of 4.8-5%.

We have chosen to invest in three Derby developments,
ripe for long-term growth and rising rental yield.
