- Gross yield 3.8% (rent × 12 ÷ price) — rank 265 of 316 local authorities; the regional median is 4.2%. Net yield is lower once mortgage interest, insurance, maintenance and voids come off.
- Tenant affordability: referencing at 30× means a household income of about £31,230 a year for the average rent.
- EPC before 2030: 47% of EPCs lodged in Rushcliffe over the last year were below band C — the level a rented home needs by 1 October 2030 — with 42% at D (EPC ratings in Rushcliffe).
- Council tax: Band D in Rushcliffe is £2,643 for 2026/27, and the council charges a 100% second-home premium (council tax in Rushcliffe).
Lender maths on the averages. At a 5.5% stress rate and 145% rent cover — the common buy-to-let convention — the average rent of £1,041 supports a loan of about £156,639, which is 47.3% of the average price. That falls short of 75% loan-to-value, so a buyer of an average home here needs a larger deposit or a stronger rent to pass the stress test. Both numbers are conventions rather than rules — change them in the stress test.
