Renting and rental yields in Liverpool
Liverpool's relatively low purchase prices support a strong headline rental proposition. REalm BI asking-market data shows an average asking price of £217,674, an average asking rent of £1,095 per month and an implied gross rental yield of 6.03% across all property sizes.
Gross yield excludes mortgage interest, service charges, repairs, insurance, management fees, licensing, void periods and tax, so it should be treated as a screening measure rather than a forecast return.
