Investment strategy
High Yield Property
Lower entry price stock in areas where rent relative to price is strong.
What high yield property means
High yield strategies prioritise rental income relative to capital invested. In parts of Greater Manchester and East Lancashire, entry prices remain low enough for strong gross yields.
Who it may suit
Investors whose priority is monthly income rather than capital appreciation.
What Westwood looks for
- Tenant demand that stands up beyond the headline yield figure
- Streets and estates that let consistently rather than sporadically
- Stock in a condition that will not eat the yield in year one
Key considerations
- High gross yields often reflect higher management and maintenance load
- Capital growth prospects can be weaker than in stronger locations
- Some lower-value stock is harder to finance
How we present the numbers
- Gross and net yield modelled side by side
- Void and maintenance assumptions stated
