Rental yield checker

Gross yield is the number everyone quotes and most get wrong: it ignores every cost you'll actually pay. This gives you the honest version of the quick check.

Gross yield

7.5%

£9,000 rent a year ÷ £120,000 price

What gross yield hides: management, maintenance, voids, insurance, compliance certs. And the mortgage. The yield guide works a real deal all the way from 8.5% gross to actual monthly cashflow.

How it works: gross yield is a year's rent divided by the purchase price. The net figure takes off your chosen running-cost percentage, but not mortgage payments, stamp duty or buying fees. For real area benchmarks, see rental yields by area (prices from HM Land Registry, rents from ONS). Education, not financial advice.
