What that means for a landlord
- Gross yield 4.1% (rent × 12 ÷ price) — rank 210 of 316 local authorities; the regional median is 4.3%. Net yield is lower once mortgage interest, insurance, maintenance and voids come off.
- Tenant affordability: referencing at 30× means a household income of about £49,020 a year for the average rent.
- EPC before 2030: 63% of EPCs lodged in Tandridge over the last year were below band C — the level a rented home needs by 1 October 2030 — with 55% at D (EPC ratings in Tandridge).
- Council tax: Band D in Tandridge is £2,595 for 2026/27 (council tax in Tandridge).
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 £1,634 supports a loan of about £245,868, which is 51.7% 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.
