Why is the net yield in Isle of Anglesey lower than the gross yield?
Gross yield counts every month's rent and no costs. On a property at Isle of Anglesey's average price and rent, one empty month a year costs £714 in lost rent, letting agent fees at 12% cost £942 and repairs at 5% of rent cost £393. That takes the yield from 3.7% to about 2.8%, a gap of 0.9 percentage points. Both yields are before mortgage costs and tax, which reduce the return further, as would any service charge or ground rent.
Is Isle of Anglesey good for buy-to-let?
RealYield does not rate areas as good or bad investments, because the answer depends on the property, the price paid and your own circumstances. On the published averages, Isle of Anglesey's gross yield ranks 278th of 316 local authorities in England and Wales and 19th of 22 in Wales. With a 25% deposit and a 4.5% interest-only mortgage, a property at the average price and rent would lose about £109 a month before tax after letting, repair and void costs. Rent stops covering those costs and the interest at a mortgage rate of about 3.7%. Individual properties vary widely, so test a specific deal before relying on an area average.
