Which areas of Sheffield are cheapest to rent?

Of the 12 districts with the most listings, median asking rents are lowest in S10 (£555), S2 (£741) and S11 (£775) and highest in S12 (£950), S1 (£950) and S3 (£925).

What is the rental yield in Sheffield?

About 8.9% gross: median asking rent per m² × 12 divided by median asking price per m² (£2,879), before costs, voids, tax and financing. A benchmark for comparing areas, not a forecast for one property.

Where do these numbers come from?

From rental and sale listings published in the last six months in this area — live ones and the ones taken down recently. We take the middle value (the median) and the range the middle half of listings sits in, so a few extreme listings do not move the figure.

Are these achieved rents and prices?

No — they are asking figures, what landlords and sellers list for. Achieved rents and prices are usually a little lower, and the property's own condition, floor and view move it well outside this range.

How often is this updated?

Every night. The sample size and the share of live listings are shown so you can judge how solid a figure is; areas with too few recent listings are not published.
