Darlington, the home of our Head Office, is emerging as a smart choice for property investors in 2025, thanks to several key factors:
Competitive Mortgage Rates
With two- and five-year fixed mortgage rates continuing to reduce, borrowing costs remain manageable, making it easier to invest in property now.
Affordable and Growing Market with a Lack of Rental Properties
Average house prices in Darlington have risen to £159,000, with rental yields increasing by over 11%, offering strong potential returns for buy-to-let investors. Demand continues to outstrip supply significantly which means sustainably high rents for landlords.
Excellent Location and Transport
Darlington boasts superb transport links, including direct rail services to London, Newcastle, and Edinburgh, plus easy access to the A1(M) and A66, ideal for commuters.
Quality Schools and Community
The town offers well-rated schools and a vibrant community, attracting families and professionals seeking a great quality of life.
Thriving Job Market
With a growing employment rate and diverse job opportunities in sectors like engineering, healthcare, and logistics and several government departments, Darlington supports a very stable rental market.
Our Brand New Investors’ Club
To make it even easier for investors, we’ve recently launched our brand new Investors’ Club which makes sourcing properties a piece of cake for investors. And best of all, it won’t cost you a penny. Unlike property sourcing companies, we won’t charge anything to be part of our club and you’ll gain early access to properties before they go on the open market.
