Property Investment Basics
Learn the fundamentals of property investment in the UK. Rental yields, capital growth, and how to evaluate opportunities.
Why Invest in Property?
Property offers two return streams: rental income and capital growth. Historically, UK house prices have doubled roughly every 10-15 years.
Rental Yield Explained
Gross rental yield is annual rent divided by purchase price. Net yield accounts for mortgage payments, maintenance, void periods, and management fees.
Capital Growth vs Income
London and the South East have historically delivered stronger capital growth but lower yields. Northern cities often offer higher income returns.
