With Premier League football poised to return on 17 June after a three-month shutdown, Sourced Capital has decided to analyse average residential property prices and rents surrounding each football stadium to decide which team landlords should support when it comes to rental yields.
The study, based on data sourced from PropertyData, found that Sheffield United and their home ground in S2, Sheffield, is home to the highest yields.
Property surrounding Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane stadium provides an average yield of 6.67%, narrowly clinching the top spot ahead of Manchester City with a yield of 6.58%.
Newcastle currently rank third of all Premier League clubs with an average yield of 6.28% making them a potentially great investment at present.
Property around Anfield, home to Liverpool FC, commands a respectable average yield of 5.71%, although they do place in joint fourth with local rivals Everton.
The bottom three clubs based on current rental yields surrounding their stadiums are Bournemouth, with yields surrounding the Vitality in poor form at 2.7%, followed by Chelsea at just 3%, and Brighton at 3.65%.
Managing director of StripeHomes, James Forrester, commented: “It’s easy to see why Newcastle is so high on the table – the football club is the lifeblood of the city and fellow Geordies.
“With the takeover the club due to take place over the coming weeks by the Saudi Royal family – it will put the city on the map globally and will attract a lot more investment into the city.”
