Buy to let: aim for the right yield
Before buying a property to rent out, compare the purchase price with rents in the commune. Immorio brings both sides of the market together: sales and rentals.
- Sale and rental listings side by side
- Rents and price per m² by commune
- A simple gross-yield calculation
What makes a good rental investment
The right location
Near universities, business districts and transport: rental demand drives yield.
The right price
Compare the asking price with the commune’s median price per m² before negotiating.
The right rent
Check rental listings in the same area to estimate a realistic rent.
The right management
Inventory, written lease and regular collection: plan the management before you buy.
Working out gross yield
Annual rent
Multiply the expected monthly rent by 12.
Total cost
Add up the purchase price, notary fees and any renovation work.
Gross yield
Divide the annual rent by the total cost, then multiply by 100.
Compare
Run the numbers for several communes and properties before choosing.
