How We Calculate Rental Yields
We calculate gross rental yield using two free government datasets: HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for median purchase prices and VOA Private Rental Market Statistics for median monthly rents. The formula is simple:
Gross Yield = (Monthly Rent x 12) / Median Price x 100
We aggregate Land Registry transactions from the last 3 years to derive typical prices per postcode district. Rental data from the VOA provides median monthly rents at local authority level. A yield above 6% is generally considered good for buy-to-let investment.
