Investors will benefit from a high calibre of tenants, with the City Council noting “just under half of York’s residents are qualified to a degree level or higher, meaning that the city has the highest skills levels of any city in the North of England”. With more young professionals taking up higher-paid jobs, the average disposable income will increase – this is great news for property investors who will see a higher demand for quality rental properties.
A total of 16,000 people are employed in the biotechnology sectors and 3,000 are employed in the digital, creative and IT sectors.
