The gross rental yield of a property is equal to the annual rental income of the rental property divided by the price of the property. As property and rental prices vary significantly across the UK, it is important to identify property investment opportunities in areas where gross rental yields are attractive and tenant demand is high. This page provides the average property value and average monthly rent for a property so that you can determine if the rental yield of your property will make your investment worthwhile. The values for these calculations were taken from the 22 June 2022 Office for National Statistics releases for House prices and average rental amounts.
