    Frequently asked questions

    What's a good rental yield in the UK?

    Gross 6%+ is generally strong; 5% is workable in higher-capital-growth areas; below 5% needs strong growth to justify the risk. Northern cities regularly deliver 7–9%.

    Should I buy UK buy-to-let in personal name or a limited company?

    Higher-rate taxpayers with 3+ properties usually benefit from a limited company (full mortgage interest deduction, 19–25% Corp Tax). A specialist broker will run both structures side by side.

    How is rental yield calculated in the UK?

    Gross yield = annual rent ÷ property price × 100. Net yield subtracts mortgage interest, insurance, letting fees, void allowance (usually 8%) and maintenance (usually 10%).

    What are the highest-yielding UK cities in 2026?

    Sunderland, Bradford, Middlesbrough and Liverpool regularly top 8% gross yield. Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham deliver 6–7% with stronger capital growth.

    How much tax do UK landlords pay on rental income?

    Personal name: rental profit taxed at your marginal rate (20/40/45%), with a 20% tax credit on mortgage interest. Ltd company: 19–25% Corporation Tax on profit, then dividend/salary extraction is taxed personally.

    Is buy-to-let still profitable in the UK in 2026?

    Yes for cash-rich or Ltd Co landlords in high-yield areas; margins are thin for higher-rate personal-name landlords on 75% LTV in London/South East. A broker + accountant should sanity-check every deal.
