Media City could not be a better choice of location for savvy buy-to-let investors, being home to huge corporations such as the BBC, ITV and hundreds of other businesses there is always a huge demand for high quality accommodation such as X1 Media City.

  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
