Bradford's rental market is performing below the national average of university towns, a report has claimed.
Buy-to-let brokers Landlord Mortgages has published a report in which it claims Bradford's rental yield is running at 4.94 per cent, compared with a national average of 6.59 per cent.
The report claims the average house price in Bradford to be £136,385 with the average rent charged per student to be £43.21 per week.
The findings were based on comparisons of the average rental cost and the average house price, based on a three-bedroom home being rented by students.
Lee Grandin, managing director of Landlord Mortgages, said: "Students can be a profitable bunch to rent to, providing you chose the correct location.
"Whether you are entering the market as an investor in student property, or as a parent buying accommodation for a child at university, the returns can be substantial.
"Landlords should however think their purchase through carefully."
The survey ranked Durham as the most profitable place to rent to students with a rental yield of 9.12 per cent. The worst town in the country was Crewe where yield were only 3.4 per cent.
