Perhaps they could pay a 3rd party even more money to find out the answer is "it depends".
I scrolled many pages of right moveAhh so you did your own research of 1 or 2 properties and concluded the industry trackers which show 100s of properties are wrong?
False choiceDo you think Rents would go up or down, if Values fell? Is it:
A - they are linked so rents would come down
B - It depends on many factors, the demand to buy vs rent are not linked directly as one market can over heat, while the other under performs. It depends on the demographic of the area, the employment prospects, type of property available etc.
Doesn’t prove what you claimI think you are misunderstanding the data...
Here is the same data presented with more explanation..
BTL sale vs rental income

Total rubbish.Some on here would want you burned at the stake for your greed.
Again it's all basic stuff.False choice
Rent and property value is linked.
Property value links to mortgage cost
Mortgage cost relates to landlord cost
Landlord cost relates to rental cost.
Sure rental and prices might not always be in sync, but the link is always the same:
High property cost = high rental cost
Low property cost = low rental cost
You don’t get a £300,000 flat available for £600 rent a month
You don’t get a £50,000 flat available for £1200 a month
If supply / demand of rental gets unrealistic, either landlords leave the market or renters leave the region
Disproved your own point there Notchy.varying yield just proves is there is fluctuation in the ratio, it doesn’t prove there is no correlation
I’d ask if you’re a landlord yourself, but the answer seems obvious.I scrolled many pages of right move
Confirms exactly what I said: rental is linked to property value
Industry trackers like you quoted giving average property values are meaningless: the vast majority of rented properties are 1 to 3 bed properties. The average house price in the Wirral includes many properties over a £1m and not many of them are rented.
NoDisproved your own point there Notchy.
It seems landlords like Motorbiking can’t answer this:I’d ask if you’re a landlord yourself, but the answer seems obvious.
Can you be a “paper “ landlord ? lol
That’s just a statement, it’s not a question.You don’t get a £300,000 flat available for £600 rent a month
You don’t get a £50,000 flat available for £1200 a month
Your examples are stupid and extreme. But you knew this.No
I provided detail, I am sorry that was too complex for you
I note you can’t answer this:
You don’t get a £300,000 flat available for £600 rent a month
You don’t get a £50,000 flat available for £1200 a month
Oh the ironyYour examples are stupid and extreme. But you knew this.
No they aren’t, I did searches on right move, those examples are in line with actual real world pricingYour examples are stupid and extreme
If you did a graph of rent versus property value, the 2 lines would go in the same direction, even if they aren’t parallel to each other.You will see there are many places where a £100k property can yield £700-£900 you will also see that there are many places where you can’t get much more income for double the budget.
