About Invest In England
A Property Sourcing Platform Built for Serious Investors
Not an Estate Agent. Not a Portal. A Sourcing Platform.
Invest In England is a property sourcing platform connecting serious investors with vetted sourcing specialists operating across England. We focus exclusively on four cities where the data supports strong rental yields and long-term capital growth: Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool.
We are not estate agents. We do not list properties on Rightmove or Zoopla. Every deal that reaches an investor through this platform has been sourced, checked and presented with the numbers already run. Purchase price, projected rental income, gross yield, net yield and comparable rental data are confirmed before any deal reaches your inbox.
Our investor base includes UK domestic buyers based in London and the South East seeking Northern England yields, and overseas investors from the Middle East, Asia and North America looking for a straightforward route into English property without navigating the market alone from a different time zone.
The platform connects investors with deals that have already cleared our internal process checks. You review the numbers, ask your questions and decide. We do not pressure, we do not chase and we do not inflate yield figures to win your business. If a deal does not pass our checks, it does not reach you.
Why England and Why These Four Cities
England has no restrictions on foreign property ownership. Any individual, regardless of nationality or country of residence, can purchase residential property in England without restriction. This puts England in a short list of major economies where overseas investors can buy directly, hold title personally and receive rental income without requiring a local partner or government approval.
Northern England cities deliver yields two to three times higher than London on a fraction of the entry price. A property generating 6 to 8% gross yield in Leeds can be purchased for £120,000 to £200,000. An equivalent yield in central London would require a purchase price of £600,000 or more and still fall short of Northern English returns.
Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool are each absorbing billions in infrastructure investment. HS2 connectivity, the Channel 4 headquarters relocation to Leeds, the Birmingham Commonwealth Games legacy, and Liverpool Waters regeneration are not speculative. They are committed capital projects driving population growth and wage increases in cities that already have structural undersupply of quality rental accommodation.
Rental demand in these cities is not cyclical. It is structural. Large university populations, young professional demographics and chronic undersupply of quality private rented accommodation keep void periods low and rental growth positive. Average void periods across the four cities remain under three weeks per year for well-managed properties.

How We Vet Every Deal Before It Reaches You
01
Numbers First
Every deal arrives with purchase price, projected rental income, gross yield and net yield calculated before it reaches any investor. Mortgage stress test figures and estimated SDLT liability are included where relevant. No guesswork. No inflated projections. The numbers either work or the deal does not proceed.
02
Market Verified
Comparable rental values are checked against live market data for the specific street and postcode, not city-wide averages. Vendor estimates are never used. If the comparable rental data does not support the projected income, the yield figure is revised down before the deal is presented. Investors see verified numbers, not aspirational ones.
03
Compliance Checked
HMO licensing requirements, Article 4 direction restrictions and planning considerations are confirmed before any HMO deal is presented. Standard buy-to-let properties are checked for sitting tenants, section 21 restrictions and any local authority enforcement notices. Compliance issues that are material to investor returns are flagged in the deal summary.
Who We Work With
We work with two types of investor. The requirements are different but the standard we apply to every deal is the same.
The UK Domestic Investor
Based in London or the South East. Wants exposure to Northern England yields without relocating or managing a property remotely themselves. Budget typically ranges from £50,000 to £250,000 depending on strategy and financing position. Primarily interested in hands-off buy-to-let or HMO investment with professional letting management in place from day one. Many already own their primary residence in London and are building a separate investment portfolio outside the capital where their money generates a real return.
The Overseas Investor
Based anywhere from Dubai to Hong Kong to Toronto. Wants a straightforward route into English property without navigating solicitors, agents and mortgage brokers alone from a different time zone. There are no restrictions on foreign nationals buying property in England. Purchases are completed fully remotely using a UK-qualified solicitor. Rental income is received in sterling and can be transferred internationally. Stamp duty surcharges apply to overseas buyers, which are factored into every deal summary presented to international investors. Read our dedicated overseas investor guide for the full process.
