Broadfield Pl 23-10-15With regards to letting, we would expect a flat like this to achieve a rent of between £725pcm & £775pcm. Based on a purchase price of £139950, this would give a gross yield of between 6.2% to 6.6%. Followers of our blog will note that this is probably the highest potential gross yield we have reported to date. Do remember the “Golden Rule” of property investment, however, that when the rental yield is high, capital growth tends to be lower.
