Paragon Reports Landlord Rental Yields Rise Above 7%

Paragon Bank’s latest lending data shows that average gross rental yields for landlords reached 7.02% by the end of June. This is an increase from 6.96% at the close of the first quarter, according to Property118.

The figures are drawn from Paragon’s Q2 2026 Buy to Let Yields report, which also notes a longer-term rise from 5.84%. The report highlights regional rental yield figures, which may be of interest to landlords seeking to strengthen their returns.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these updated yield figures provide insight into current market conditions and may influence landlord decisions regarding property investments and rental strategies.
