The report, based on the bank’s lending data, found that overall gross rental yields strengthened to 7.02% by the end of June, up from 6.96% at the end of the first quarter.
Scotland, the West Midlands, and Yorkshire and Humber were identified as the main regions driving this growth. The report did not highlight similar growth in London.
