The Investment Case

The numbers
speak for themselves.

The North East has quietly become the UK's most attractive region for property investors. High yields, affordable entry prices and a rapidly improving economic outlook driven by billions in committed infrastructure investment.

Average gross yield

The Northeast delivers more than double London's rental yield — at a fraction of the entry cost. Average property prices across the Tees Valley remain well below the national average, meaning your capital works significantly harder here than in any other UK region.

"The North is forecast to lead UK house price growth over the next five years. The fundamentals — affordability, rental demand and regeneration — are firmly in place."

Seven projects
transforming Tees Valley.

This is not future speculation. Construction is underway. Jobs are being created. People are moving here. The ripple effect on property demand is already being felt.

Darlington Government Economic Campus
Under Construction · Opens 2028

Construction began January 2026 on the £118m Brunswick Street hub — the permanent home of HM Treasury's second headquarters. Over 1,600 civil servants from Treasury, the Department for Business and Trade, ONS and five other departments will relocate from London, with the campus operational from 2028. A separate £140m station upgrade is also underway, cutting the journey to London to under 2.5 hours.

Investment: £118m
Civil servants: 1,600+
Opens: 2028
Net Zero Teesside — BP & Equinor
In Development · Operational 2028

The £4bn Net Zero Teesside Power project — a joint venture between BP and Equinor — will be the world's first gas-fired power station with full carbon capture and storage. Located at Teesworks, it will generate 740MW of dispatchable low-carbon power and create over 3,000 direct and indirect jobs, cementing Teesside as the UK's clean energy capital.

Investment: £4bn
Jobs: 3,000+
Type: Carbon capture
Teesworks — SeAH Wind & Offshore Hub
Operational 2025 · Exports 2026

The £950m SeAH Wind monopile manufacturing facility — the world's largest of its kind — began production in 2025. Located at Teesworks, Europe's largest brownfield regeneration site, it produces over 150 giant offshore wind turbine foundations per year. First exports from the Steel River Quay to North Sea wind farms are expected through 2026, creating 750 direct jobs and 1,500 supply chain roles.

Investment: £950m
Direct jobs: 750
Supply chain: 1,500

Investment: £200m
Jobs: 4,400

Case Study · London

London.
Our first property.

Bought in 2013 as our first home. When we relocated to Dubai in 2014 we converted it to a rental. Held for over nine years and fully renovated — kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces all transformed. Refinanced to release equity and retained as a long-term rental. The foundation of everything that followed.
