Rental Yields Rise Despite Political and Mortgage Market Uncertainty
Rental yields across England and Wales have increased by 0.3% year-on-year to 7.8%, according to new figures from Fleet Mortgages. This comes despite periods of political volatility that have caused problems in the mortgage market.
The Fleet Mortgages’ Rental Barometer found that six out of ten regions in England and Wales recorded a quarterly decline in yields. However, the overall average rental yield still rose over the past year.
For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these findings highlight ongoing resilience in rental returns, even as the wider market faces uncertainty. The data may be relevant for those advising landlords or managing portfolios, as it suggests that rental yields remain stable on average, despite regional fluctuations and broader market challenges.
