Urban investment properties are those in or around city centres and are often characterised by smaller square metreage and higher prices. City centres can usually be relied upon to generate high occupancy levels thanks to their mix of industrial, domestic and tourism demand. Capital cities will always be in the highest demand. Buy-to-let investments work well in cities catering for expatriates, locals and holiday makers alike. The re-sale market for urban investments can also be strong in well chosen conurbations.
