A headline yield can hide weak assumptions
Gross rental yield is annual rent divided by the property price. It is useful for an initial comparison, but it does not show mortgage payments, voids, maintenance, management or other ownership costs.
Figures to collect before relying on the result
Achievable monthly rent
Support the rent with current local comparables or a letting-agent appraisal.
Acquisition costs
Record applicable purchase tax, legal work, survey, finance fees and refurbishment.
Ongoing costs
Allow for finance, management, insurance, maintenance, service charges and vacancy.

Multiply monthly rent by 12, divide by the property price, then multiply by 100.
Does yield include mortgage costs?
Gross yield does not. Review cash flow separately using finance and operating-cost assumptions.
