Research — the North East Rent Map
What the rent
actually is,
street by street
Portal asking rents run 11–15% above achieved rents at town level, and 30–40% above on individual streets. We screen every deal against evidence, not against asking prices.
Method
How the numbers
are built
The map is built from achieved rents and sold prices, district by district — not from portal asking prices, which run consistently ahead of what tenants actually sign for.
Each district carries a gross yield. Gross yield is annual rent divided by purchase price, and it deliberately ignores financing, so it is comparable across areas. The cost model behind the net figures assumes:
- 25% deposit, 75% loan at 5%
- 10% management
- £40 insurance per month
- £193 per month running costs
- 5% SDLT, £1,500 legal, £1,000 survey
- £3,500 sourcing fee
Those are assumptions, and they are named so you can change them. The published yields are gross and do not depend on any of them.
Where a district has no reliable rent evidence, it is marked as such rather than estimated. A number we cannot evidence is worse than a gap.
