Ranked no1 in the 2022 Colliers list  for 'UK residential investment opportunities', Edinburgh is hardly a big secret to property investors. Solid house price growth, highly educated residents and predicted population expansion ranked it top of the UK list above previous top performers like London, Oxford and Cambridge. Remarkably, even though Edinburgh is Scotlands capital city - the UK’s 2nd most important financial city second only to London -  it is still possible to buy investment property for under 170k in great areas that are only 15 minute walk to the city centre. Yields sit well above the UK average at 4-6% however yields of up to 8% are achievable, particularly with HMO investment properties.
