Indicative Yield By Postcode District
This uses local authority-wide ONS average rent against district median sold prices. Treat it as a screening signal, not a property valuation.
District-level rental yield screening is waiting for approved postcode district coverage for Cornwall. The local authority-wide rent and price signals remain available above.
Rental Yield Is Income Divided By Property Price
Gross rental yield is estimated as annual rent divided by purchase price. It does not include mortgage costs, maintenance, voids, tax, management fees or capital growth. Use it alongside postcode evidence, sales volume and regeneration context before comparing Cornwall buy-to-let areas.
Cornwall’s average private rent stood at £1,004 in July 2026, according to the ONS Price Index of Private Rents. That was down slightly from £1,005 in June, a monthly fall of 0.1%.
The move is small, but it shows rents easing after a period of firmer growth earlier in the year.
