Buy-to-let hotspots revealed

Some of the best places in the UK for landlords to invest have been pointed out in a new countdown.

Times Money has compiled a top ten buy-to-let hotspots list, with the assistance of PropertyEarth.net.

The newspaper noted that there is a wide geographical spread in the rundown, with various parts of Britain offering bargains to shrewd landlords.

Glasgow was named as the most attractive city to invest in, followed by Houghton Le Spring in Tyne and Wear.

Times Money commented: "Landlords have been hard hit by the property crash, along with private homeowners.

"But one small silver lining in the generally gloomy outlook is that, with property prices coming down faster than rental values, yields are actually rising for many purchasers of rental property."

Telford, Middleton in Manchester, Burnley, Barnsley, Newcastle upon Tyne and Neath in Wales were also named on the list, along with London boroughs Lewisham and Newham.
