Is your yield good?
Below 4%: Below average. Consider if capital growth justifies the low income.
4-6%: Average UK yield. Acceptable for most areas.
6-8%: Good yield. Typical for northern cities and high-demand areas.
8%+: Excellent yield. Usually HMOs or student lets.

Gross yield = (Annual rent / Property value) × 100
Net yield = ((Annual rent - Annual costs) / Property value) × 100
Net yield gives you the true picture of your investment return after accounting for mortgage payments, maintenance, void periods, insurance, and management fees.
