The average gross rental yield in Glasgow is indicatively around 6.4%. That figure comes from a typical Glasgow property price of £205,000 and a median monthly rent of £1,100 (Scotland) — i.e. £1,100 × 12 ÷ £205,000 × 100.

Gross yields vary a lot by property size. Using Glasgow's £205,000 average price against the median rent for each property size gives an indicative gross yield:
| Bedrooms | Median monthly rent | Indicative gross yield |
|---|---|---|
| 1 bed | £850 | 5.0% |
| 2 beds | £1,100 | 6.4% |
| 3 beds | £1,450 | 8.5% |
| 4 beds | £1,950 | 11.4% |
At around 6.4%, Glasgow's indicative gross yield sits at or above the roughly 5.96% UK average, which is part of what makes it attractive to buy-to-let investors. Remember that net yield — after mortgage, maintenance, agency fees, insurance and other costs — is what really matters, and our calculator works that out too.
