“購房出租”劃算嗎？

Thinking about joining the buy-to-let boom?

想不想買套房來出租？

Most new landlords look to buy their first property in a town they know. Usually that means where they live or perhaps somewhere they went to university or used to reside.
大多數新房東想要在熟悉的城鎮購買第一套房產，通常是居住地，上大學的地方，或者過去曾住過的地方。

But if your local area is not ideal for buy-to-let, you might wish to look to those towns and cities that generally produce the best income for landlords.
但如果當地對購房出租來說并不理想，也許你會想轉戰到能為房東帶來最佳收益的地區購房。

HSBC’s annual survey found that the city of Manchester was Britain’s buy-to-let hotspot. This was followed by Kingston-upon-Hull and Blackpool.
匯豐銀行的年度調查顯示，曼徹斯特是英國購房出租的熱點。其次是赫爾河畔金斯頓和黑潭。
