What is rental yield?
Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $525 × 52 weeks = $27,300, against the council valuation of $480,000. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 rental advertised nearby each adjusted to this property’s bedrooms and value | $548 | 0% |
| From its value what rentals in the area typically yield | $527 | 100% |
We read this property as a townhouse 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.

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.
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.
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 Nelson City 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.
Nelson City Council records these on the LIM; it will say more about a listed site on request.
Ask Nelson City CouncilWhat 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.
