City guides
Each one written for its city, with the figures measured and the awkward parts left in.
A guide covers what the numbers cannot: which neighbourhoods let to whom, what is being built, which streets need a landlord licence, and the local risks an investor should price in. The figures in each one come from the same monthly dataset as the investment map, which ranks all 977 places we cover.
Birmingham
The biggest city-centre build-to-rent pipeline outside London, a council still paying for its 2023 insolvency, and licensing across 25 wards.
Leeds
A 20,000-home plan for the South Bank, mass transit from 2028, and a new licensing scheme at £1,100 a property across six wards.
Liverpool
Cheap entry, the Everton stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, a council back to running itself, and a licence on most rented homes in 16 wards.
