Gross yield is rent over the asking price and nothing else. Net yield takes off the running costs, the empty weeks and the stamp duty you will never get back.

Gross yield is what the advert quotes. Net yield is what you live on, and the gap is bigger than most listings suggest.
What the advert leaves out
Gross yield divides rent by the purchase price and stops there. It ignores every running cost, every pound of stamp duty and every empty week.
Buying costs belong in the denominator. They are money you put in and cannot get back out, so a yield measured against the price alone flatters every purchase.
Void weeks are the cost people forget. Two weeks a year is about four per cent of the rent, and it lands in the same year as the re-letting fee.

Trading profit is split on a time basis. Interest, rent, gains, donations and dividends each follow their own rule, and mixing them up misstates both accounting periods.
A long period of account needs two separate capital allowances computations, and since April 2026 they are not even calculated at the same writing down rate.
Company law allows accounts to run for 18 months; corporation tax never allows an accounting period longer than 12. Here is how the split is drawn.
