Real life yields

I read (in another forum) recently a City guy claiming he couldn't get much over 3% yield on a London flat. Yet, this piece claims average London yields are above 6%. Landlords - I don't want to pry into your own books, but it would be great if you could just give a sense of where the truth lies right now.

Cheers,

Ben

I invest in London and 3% really is the lowest (to my knowledge)! I think yields are more like 5.5% but I am founding that with a few desperate sellers out there 6% is achievable again.

Hi

The UK property investments company that I use, usually bank on the capital growth more than the yield. I thought that you only had to really worry about the yield covering the mortgage and loan secured on it?
