What is the rental yield?
When buying a property as an investment, sooner or later the crucial question arises: How profitable is my investment? The answer is provided by the rental yield - one of the most important key figures for property investors.
The rental yield shows you how much profit you can realise in relation to the capital invested. A distinction is made between two variants:
Gross rental yield: Only takes into account the annual rental income in relation to the purchase price.
Net rental yield: Also takes into account all costs incurred, such as land transfer tax, notary fees, estate agent's commission and ongoing expenses.
The rental yield provides you with a reliable basis for decision-making. The Gross return enables a quick assessment, while the Net return provides a realistic picture, as it also takes all costs into account. This allows you to better assess whether a property is profitable in the long term.
