What is rental yield?
Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $910 × 52 weeks = $47,320, against our estimate of $1,430,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

We read this property as a house with 4 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.
