Gross rental yield is straightforward: annual rent divided by purchase price. Net yield is what actually matters, and it is consistently lower once you account for the costs a landlord actually bears.
What it calculates
Gross yield: annual rent divided by purchase price, expressed as a percentage. Net yield: annual rent minus service charges, DEWA connection costs, agency management fees, and a vacancy allowance, divided by purchase price. Both figures are shown side by side so you can see the spread.
Area data and labelling
Area-level rental range data is drawn from DLD transaction records, labelled ANALYSIS, and carries an explicit stated date. Your specific unit will vary based on floor, finish, view, and market timing at the time of rental. Use the area figures as a starting range, not a guarantee.
ANALYSIS: Area rental data is sourced from DLD records as of the stated date. Actual rental income depends on unit-level factors and market conditions at the time of letting. This is not a guarantee of returns.
