‘According to HSBC port cities and seaside towns dominate the table of the highest rental yields. Southampton represents the best value for landlords’ money, with an average monthly rent of £900 compared with an average property price of £138,000, giving a yield of 7.8%. Blackpool and Hull, where prices are even lower, are second and third respectively, while Liverpool and Portsmouth are also in the top ten with yields of more than 6.5%.’
