Why the South West is emerging as a property investment hotspot – and how Virtus Group is riding this wave.
London and Manchester often steal the limelight, but quiet revolutions are happening in places like Devon. Here’s why the South West is emerging as a property investment hotspot – and how Virtus Group is riding this wave by focusing on high-demand local projects.
Economic Growth
Exeter and Plymouth are seeing significant investment in tech and marine sectors. The "Great South West" initiative is driving infrastructure improvements, attracting major employers and a skilled workforce who need quality housing.
The Supply/Demand Imbalance
Planning constraints in historic cities restrict new supply, yet population growth continues. This imbalance puts upward pressure on rents and capital values, protecting investments from market volatility.
