Leicester has long been a popular location for buy-to-let investors, offering a strong mix of students, professionals, families, hospital workers, commuters and long-term tenants.

With two universities, major hospitals, a busy city centre, established suburbs and surrounding villages, Leicester provides a wide range of rental opportunities for both first-time landlords and experienced investors.
