Which UK City has the Best Landlords?

Sheffield is the UK city with the best rated landlords, while Derby and Hull were jointly rated as the worst by tenants, according to a new study.

London-based waste collection company Clearitwaste.co.uk collated landlord ratings on Yell, Google, and Marksoutoftenancy.com, as well as monthly search volumes for landlord issues on Google Ads.

They used the data to create a points-based index to reveal which city has the best landlords.

Tenant satisfaction in Sheffield was ranked at 358 out of 400. High average landlord ratings of 91/100 and a low number of searches for landlord issues helped it to reach first place.
