What that means for a landlord

• Gross yield 4.6% (rent × 12 ÷ price) — rank 134 of 316 local authorities; the regional median is 4.9%. Net yield is lower once mortgage interest, insurance, maintenance and voids come off.
• Tenant affordability: referencing at 30× means a household income of about £22,110 a year for the average rent.
• EPC before 2030: 51% of EPCs lodged in Wyre over the last year were below band C — the level a rented home needs by 1 October 2030 — with 43% at D (EPC ratings in Wyre).
• Council tax: Band D in Wyre is £2,461 for 2026/27 (council tax in Wyre).

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 £737 supports a loan of about £110,897, which is 57.5% 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.
