Landlord yields were strongest in Wales and the North East of England in 2025, Paragon\u2019s Q4 Buy-to-Let Yield Report has revealed.<\/p>\n
Yields in Wales grew by 0.74% to 8.83%, followed by the North East, up 0.38% to 8.20%. They also performed better in Greater London, increasing 0.30% to 5.78%.<\/p>\n
Overall yields remained flat during the year, finishing Q4 at 6.93%.<\/p>\n
Louisa Sedgwick, Paragon Bank managing director of mortgages, said: \u201cYields have performed strongly since summer 2022, when house price growth began to slow and rental inflation accelerated due to the imbalance between supply and demand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile we saw this momentum ease last year as the market normalised, we expect yields to remain stable throughout this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
HMOs achieved the strongest rental yield in 2025, at 8.61%, rising by 0.20% year-on-year.<\/p>\n
After HMOs, multi-unit blocks achieved the second highest yield by property type at 7.32% during Q4 2025, followed by flats and terraced homes.<\/p>\n
Yields on flats finished the year at 6.33%, 0.24% higher annually, with terraced homes 0.23% higher at 6.28%.<\/p>\n
Sedgwick added: \u201cAlthough overall yield growth was relatively flat in 2025, certain property types and regions stood out, reflecting varied local market conditions and shifting demand for specific kinds of homes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
