What is a rental yield?
Rental yield shows how much income a property generates in rent relative to its value - expressed as a percentage. It’s one of the key metrics that buy-to-let property investors use to evaluate whether an investment makes financial sense.
Gross Yield - The rental income before costs and expenses.
Net Yield - Rental income after deducting expenses like maintenance, insurance, and taxes.
Understanding both helps you compare different properties fairly and spot the ones that could deliver the strongest returns
