Hello,
I am thinking of buying a house to let out and would appreciate some advice as to what is a worthwhile yield? I have seen some calculators which work out rental yield but these do not take into consideration other costs such as management fees etc. How do you work it all out please?
Thanks

It will vary on a number of factors, how much tax u pay, ur mortgage rate and if u pay a LA to manage it (assume u r) and for how much.0

Of course there are other issues as well. You may be happy to take a low rental yield in an area where capital growth is high or you might want a higher rental return if your property is unlikely to increase much in value.0

So you own your own home ?
You have a 20/25% deposit and money to get the property up to a good standard ?
You have a good business plan to put before a lender or use a broker !
You know the Law about being a landlord ?
You are happy to attend to your rental property 24/7 365 days a year.
You have a good accountant to make best use of all the Tax savings and allowances.0
