What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $545 × 52 weeks = $28,340, against the council valuation of $510,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

How we worked this out
EvidencePoints toCounted
From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$543100%

We read this property as a house with 3 bedrooms. 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.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

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.

What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

We do not hold flood maps for Horowhenua District yet.

Contaminated land

Councils keep registers of land used for activities on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) — service stations, timber treatment, orchards, landfills. A listing records how land was used, not that it is contaminated: most sites have never been tested.

Horizons does not publish its register. Its HAIL information request form asks it what it holds on a property.

Ask Horizons Regional Council

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
