With a diverse mix of ethnicities and a good mix of populated cities and rural countryside, Wales is an often-overlooked investment hotspot in the UK.

Traditionally investors have favoured areas such as the South East of England for capital appreciation and the North of England for yield. However, very few people in the world have made money from following the trend!

North & South Wales has become a 'hidden secret' for many property investors with the majority of landlords being local to the area. There is a strong demand for rental properties from both families in rural areas to young professionals in town centres and cities.

Remember that your exit from property should be considered from the onset of your property investment decision. We believe that the realistic market valuations of property in Wales make them ideal for first time buyers along with property investors, which means selling your assets in the future will be easier if they can attract owner-occupiers rather than just fellow landlords.

There are hundreds of areas in Wales to invest but we have chosen a list of our property hotspots (left) which explain the local areas in more detail.
