Property Yields Continuing To Increase

Published: 31st August 2016

The UKs average rent has increased by 2.4% over the past year, with the yields expected to increase even further. This is due to the private rented sector’s supply and demand imbalance continuing to raise. Manchester has been listed as the fastest growing rental city, alongside offering some of the highest yields in the UK.

Despite the interest rate being low, property is still regarded as one of the most popular assets with rent in the UK continuing to rise from inflation. As stated by the UKs private rented sector, the demand for suitable rental accommodation has been at its highest, meaning there is a major undersupply for this sector. Rent across England has increased by 2.6%, which has resulted in the yields continuing to increase. The supply and demand imbalance is expected to remain for a few years to come.
