What is rental yield?
Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $585 × 52 weeks = $30,420, against the council valuation of $595,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.
How we worked this out
| Evidence | Points to | Counted |
|---|---|---|
| From its value what rentals in the area typically yield | $587 | 100% |
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.

Free. Takes about a minute.
