Be wary of uni towns. Lots of places have had recent investment in purpose built student accommodation blocks with more to come.

Any ideas on UK areas to get a decent property with a good yield for around the £100K mark from the CCUK-Pedia?

I believe around 05-10 the prices roughly doubled?

£100k means you can mortgage up to a £400k buy for a BTL. Depending on your financial situation and with the new tax regime, you probably wouldn't want to leverage that far.
I'd always say buy near where you live, because you know the area and at least you're nearby if for any reason you need to visit or get work done on the place.
Don't rely on Uni towns, for reasons given by Hobo above.
if you're looking to invest long term there are housing associations in Mancs that taken on properties for 5 year guaranteed rental schemes. Best if you can modify the house to become a HMO so that you can achieve good rent.

For £100k you can probably but a full street of 2 bed terrace houses in the north, then rent them out via housing association. Strip out anything valuable first, like copper heating pipes, they're hard enough to go out on the town in only shorts/t-shirt or crop top/mini skirt in winter so don't need heating anyway.

Any Uni-Town. In the NW Manchester is favourite (and there are still some 2 bed flats for around that if you're not too picky), with Leeds not far off. I'd avoid Liverpool as the students there are not the most *ahem* academic.
