Average rental yields remain above 6%

The buy-to-let sector has experienced rising rents over the last couple of years and as property prices have generally stagnated this has resulted in good rental yields in many parts of the UK.

The Property Hawk Mortgages Profile reports an average rental yield of 6.29% for Q1 2012, with certain property types in particular areas generating higher.

For example, terraced houses are generating a yield of 6.73% on average, and some terraced houses in Liverpool are generating average yields of 8.70%.
