How this is measured
We divide the median yearly rent agreed on new tenancies by the median price of ready homes sold in the same area, for the same bedroom count, over the same four quarters. Renewals are left out, because they restate a sitting tenant's rent. Off-plan sales are left out, because a home not yet handed over earns no rent. A yield is published only when both sides kept at least 30 records. How we calculate yield
What this does not tell you
- It is gross: service charges, vacancy, maintenance and fees are not taken off.
- Rents and prices come from different homes in the area, not the same home let and sold.
- A high yield often goes with lower prices and older buildings.
These figures describe registered sales and rents. They are not advice on what to buy or rent.
