Eh? Property is a massive global investment vehicle. Owned by pension funds, insurance companies...even trade unions!

Don't forget the Church of England and Crown Estate

Yes, especially them. (satire)....

Remember the Archbishops of Canterbury's reaction when he was told to put up some of the homeless in Lambeth Palace?

Thanks for taking the time.

So it's basically the investment in property/rent return compared to other types of investment at the going interest rate.

Once again the cost of the property itself seems to be the key factor in driving up rental charges.

I'm loathed to say it once again, but immigration must be a big factor in that.

Yield is simply the annual rent return/purchase price - if you buy it for £500,000, and rent it for £2000 per month, your yield is £24,000 (£2k x 12 months) / £500,000 (x100) = 4.8%.

Not sure what the other explanation is all about, particularly from someone who’s a landlord themself.

It’s becoming less and less profitable to be a landlord, particularly in London where the purchase prices are so inflated, and rents just haven’t matched it - there’s also a whole host of new costs being burdened on landlords, such as council licensing schemes, which all eat into the already small profit margins.

Well if banks didn't charge so much for mortgages and house prices were so high, then perhaps more people would buy.
My only issue with landlords is that they are too greedy.

You do realise that mortgage rates for landlords are even higher! Also that there's an extra 3% levy on the whole cost of the property as well...all extra costs that a landlord incurs.

Having said that though, part of the reason for the extra levy is to weed out the unscrupulous landlord who DO exploit their tenants. Thankfully as a result of this and Sec 24 the 'new breed' of Landlord is far more savvy and business like in their approach, and like Tom i also rent my properties out below the market rate.

I do so because A) I want my tenants to be happy and B) I want to give them the opportunity to be able to save for a deposit if they so wish.

You probably think that about anyone with £3 in their pocket, hence why you probably don’t buy any drinks.

What would you rather people invest in, BitCoins like Tux recommends? At least renting out housing benefits people. Nowadays in London there is no capital accumulation, so it's only providing a modest return. Probably lower than equities.

There is a need for a private rental sector. Full stop. The fact that rents are high is solely a function of the cost of housing, given the returns aren't high. It isn't profiteering, simple ROCE calculation.

Good shout.
Did you buy some?
900dollars in early 2017 and still, despite the very best efforts of the largest market on the planet to kill it off, trading around 3,800 dollars today. Far from shabby
Bitcoin isn't going away, it's about a trust-free currency and being being your own bank ie cut out the expensive middle-man.
It's deflationary (there will only ever be so many available) so it can't be printed from thin-air therefore devaluing any currency that currently exists (how many are continually having to top-up their pension because the value of the currency has been turning to rats*** for decades now? How many 'oldies' are having to release equity due to the currency turning to rats***?
So what's not to like? There is far too much money moving into this space for it to be 'hunch/gamble'. And the best thing is that you'll never get a call re- 'the guttering is leaking' etc etc.

Please feel free to reference my stance again in the future.
I'm here to help everyone.

I think I already said that my greedy landlord remark was a little unfair.

Sorry, I'll clarify for you.

You've explained how to calculate the yield which had already been done. I explained the relevance of the return on investment compared to having the money in the bank: that's what yield is: return on investment.
