Average rents and gross yields for every English local authority, and plain‑English guides to the Renters’ Rights Act, Making Tax Digital, EPC C and the PRS Database. Sourced to ONS, HM Land Registry and GOV.UK — free, no paywall.
Listings-based tools calculate yields from asking prices — the number a seller wants, not the number the market paid. We use the official record: registered transactions and the national rent index. It’s less flattering and considerably more useful.

The UK average house price reached £271,295 in May 2026, up 2.7% on the year — a move that matters to you at your next remortgage valuation, not as a market signal. Meanwhile the Bank of England monthly average for a two-year fix stood at 4.79% in July, well above the Bank Rate of 3.75% as of 13 August 2026. If you are rolling off a fix this year, the gap between what you locked in and what you are rolling onto is the most immediate number in this edition.
On the income side, the average UK private rent reached £1,388 per month in June 2026, up 3.3% on the year — evidence you can use if you are preparing a Section 13 notice. And if you let in England, the Renters' Rights Act has been live since 1 May 2026: Section 21 is gone, Form 4A is now the only lawful rent-increase route, and the PRS Database registration is expected to open in late 2026. Four obligations, four deadlines — this edition sets out what you need to do and by when.
