An Important Quality Every Investor Should Look For in a Rental Property

Why Is This an Important Quality?

Having a good internet connection within the home has always been important, but since the Covid-19 pandemic, connectivity has never been so crucial.  

More people than ever before are now working either part or fully remote, and in order for daily Zoom calls to run smoothly and deadlines to be hit, a fast internet connection is necessary. 

A lot of property developers are even adapting to this trend by adding dedicated remote working spaces into their new developments.  

If you’re a buy to let investor who’s not thinking about ways to cater to this new way of life amongst professional tenants in the UK, it’s time to start.  

The Best Places in the UK For a Fast Internet Connection 

In a recent report from RentRound, the best areas in the UK for strong connectivity were revealed.  

Top of the list was the West Midlands region, home to Birmingham. Here, the average download speed in Mbps takes just 82.4 seconds.  

Second to the West Midlands is London, followed by Yorkshire and the Humber, and the East of England. 

The North West region comes in fifth with an average speed of 73.9 seconds.  

Perhaps unsurprisingly thanks to the rural nature of the area, Wales was ranked at the bottom of the list with an average download speed of just 58.2 seconds per Mbps.  

A Focus on High-Speed Internet Within Purpose-Built Developments  

If you’re thinking of buying an investment property within a new build purpose-built property development, then you’ll be more likely to find a property with a high-speed internet connection.  

Developers have been incorporating super-fast WiFi into their properties for many years now.  

Take past developments sold at RWinvest such as City Point in Liverpool, in which every unit has access to high-speed internet.  

If you purchase a unit in a new-build development rather than buying an apartment in an older building or investing in a house, it’s likely your property will already have strong WiFi access.
