With the F.A Cup and Play Off finals set to bring the curtain down on another domestic football season, an interesting new-look Premier League table has been released.

The table, collated by North-East based sales and lettings firm KIS and deposit-free renting solution Dlighted, positions the 20 Premier League clubs on the strength of their local property market.

More specifically, the standings show positions if team were judged on average returns for buy-to-let let investors for two-bedroom properties in their local postcode area.

Merseyside took the title, with Everton pipping neighbours Liverpool to the crown by just 0.3%. Properties in L4 offer average returns to investors of 9%, in comparison to 8.7% in Anfield’s postcode region of L6.

The Champions League spots were taken by this years relegated sides Middlesbrough, Hull and Sunderland, where returns are 8.5% 7.1% and 7% respectively.

On the other hand, Premier League Champions Chelsea would be relegated in this table, alongside runners-up Tottenham and new Europa-League members Arsenal. Typical returns in these regions amount to 2.2%, 1.2% and 2.7%.

Manchester United survived the drop by the skin of their teeth, finishing 17th with yields of 3.8%.

Ajay Jagota, founder of Dlighted and KIS, observed: ‘It’s been a tough year for fans of the Premier League teams in our native North East and we’re glad that there’s at least one table where Sunderland and Middlesbrough are close to the top.’

“Even though this is all just a bit of fun and not a serious investment guide, we have inadvertently learned something very interesting about the state of the buy-to-let market in England and Wales.’

‘There is a theory in the industry that landlords are increasingly turning away from London and the South East and investing instead in other parts of the country. With no London club finishing higher than 14th and North East and North West clubs dominating the league, our table suggests that this could actually be a very wise move.’[1]

The football season returns in just three days and with optimism rife, predictions made and new signings in place, there is still one deal that is yet to be concluded.

After lengthy negotiation, the proposed easyProperty sponsorship of Tottenham Hotspur is still yet to be concluded.

Signing?

In March, the Daily Telegraph said that the online letting agency was in talks with the Premier League outfit over what it described as, ‘a multi-million pound sponsorship deal.’ Just the next day, marketing website The Drum, revealed that easyProperty was, ‘poised’ to sign a deal with Spurs.

However, with the start of the new Premier League campaign just days away, there is still no official word from White Hart Lane. Spurs’ website does not list the letting agency as one of its sponsors.

A representative from easyProperty commented, ‘they are in late stage talks but nothing has been agreed. The fact that Tottenham is the centre of a major regeneration scheme is of great interest and adds additional interest to the sponsorship.

Good company

If the deal is concluded, easyProperty would be in good sponsorship company, with Carlsberg, Marathon Bet, StubHub and Thomas Cook amongst Spurs’ official partners.

Reportedly, easyProperty are looking to have their logo utilised on the numerous advertising hoardings around the pitch, alongside buying into hospitality suites and player access. The Telegraph reports that a person, ‘close to the deal,’ said that the letting agent also wants to get, ‘involved in the local community,’ through any sponsorship deal.[1]

Considering a deal is eventually struck, the move could be considered as Champions League qualification for easyProperty. However, should an agreement not be reached given the advanced announcement, the letting agent will have certainly put one in its own net.
