The flat yield has improved to 4.8% in the latest period, up from a 10-year average of 4.1%, indicating strengthening returns for landlords.
Income & Affordability Trends
Average net household income of £33,527 is notably below the national average. The price-to-income ratio has shifted unfavourably to 7.9x, worsening from 7.0x in 2016, meaning affordability for owner-occupiers has declined. Rental affordability, however, has improved: the rent-to-income ratio has fallen to 21.7% from 23.8% in 2016, benefiting tenants.
