What is the difference between gross and net rental yield?

Gross yield is annual rent divided by property value. Net yield deducts landlord expenses (management fees typically 8–12%, maintenance, insurance, void periods) — typically reducing gross yield by 1–3 percentage points.

What rental yield is considered good?

A gross yield of 5–8% is generally considered a solid return in most markets. Prime city centre locations often yield 3–4% but offer higher capital appreciation prospects.
