What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $885 × 52 weeks = $46,020, against the council valuation of $1,350,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$884100%

We read this property as a house. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.
