How Property Scout ranks UK postcodes
Every postcode district is scored 0–100 across seven dimensions and a single overall investment score. The model is rebuilt as new data lands and is fully described in the methodology.
Yield, growth or balanced?
Yield-focused investors should start with the highest-yield postcodes. Long-horizon investors should compare the highest capital-growth postcodes. Balanced investors will find the top investment postcodes the most useful entry point.
Regulation matters as much as numbers
Article 4 directions and selective licensing schemes can change the economics of a property overnight. See Article 4, selective licensing and the lowest regulation-risk shortlist.
