Falling house prices and steady or rising rents have improved yields for buy-to-let landlords on properties in England and Wales.
Analysis from Hamptons International, an estate agent, found that average yields had crept up to 5.9% in the last six months of 2018, having fallen every year since 2015.
London showed the second biggest rise in yields of any region to 4.6%, after a fall in house prices in the capital.
