Tiverton rental market, what landlords need to know
Tiverton is a market town in Mid Devon, situated on the River Exe in the heart of the county. Approximately 23% of all households are in the private rented sector. The rental market is driven by local employment in manufacturing, agriculture, and the public sector, with good road links to Exeter (approximately 15 miles south) attracting commuters seeking lower rents than the city. Buy-to-let gross yields of 5-7% reflect affordable purchase prices and steady rental demand. Mid Devon District Council is the local housing authority.
