Common questions
What is the site built around?
The Rent and Yield is organised around the city market, the yield reported in it, and whether a foreign buyer may purchase there at all. Markets and The numbers carry the reporting, Strategies covers the approaches, Rules for foreigners covers ownership restrictions, and Managing covers letting and upkeep.
Are the yield figures reliable?
They are as published. Every figure comes from a named agency report, index or publication and is credited in the piece, and yields are calculated differently by different sources. Compare the methodology before comparing two numbers.
Is Rules for foreigners legal advice?
No. It summarises what governments, regulators and named publications have said about ownership rules, and those rules vary by city and change without notice. For a real purchase you need a local lawyer, not a summary.
Do you sell property or refer buyers?
No. Nothing is listed or sold here, no agent or developer is recommended, and there are no referral fees. The site reports on markets rather than transacting in them.
Why is there no writer's name on the articles?
They are written with automated assistance from the source material and carry no personal byline, with the source publication credited instead. Sources and methods sets out how.
Is there a feed URL?
Yes, through the RSS feed at /feed.xml, which carries everything in publication order and needs no account.
