What is a UK property
rental yield?

Rental yield is the amount of money an investor will make on their buy to let property by calculating the gap between the asset’s overall costs and the rental income generated on the property.

Investors must understand the real return on investment when building their property portfolio to ensure that there are no hidden expenses.

  • What is a good rental yield on a
    buy to let investment?
    According to the yourMoney website, the average UK rental yield is 3.53%. With that data in mind, investors should consider opportunities that can generate a slightly higher return – we suggest anything between 5% and 8% is a good rental yield on property investment.

    Rental returns that exceed this level should be carefully considered and researched as they may be too good to be true.
  • Where can I achieve the best rental returns?
    Northern Powerhouse cities including Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Leeds offer some of the best rental returns for buy to let investors. A lower entry level coupled with a high demand makes these cities hotspots for property investment.

    London has always been a popular choice for investors however, with property prices and rental yields stagnating in recent years, investors should consider commuter belt locations that offer easy access to capital including Brentwood and Chatham.
