Annual returns for landlords above 10%

Landlords are still experiencing double digit returns according to the latest Buy-to-Let Index from LSL Property Services with annual returns of 10.3% from the average property.

These figures are derived from figures that show the average return on a property is £17,307 in the last 12 months, with the capital gain of £9,140 outstripping the rental income of £8,168. We have spoken before about the importance of capital growth in overall returns.

These figures have slipped from 11.3% in the year to June despite a modest real increase in rents of 0.1% for the year which marginally outstripped the annual rate of inflation of 1.9%.
