What the numbers say, and what they do not
- The register knows no condition. Whether a unit is renovated, high floor or with a view is not in it. The range within one type shows that, not the median.
- The yield is gross. Service charge, vacancy and management lower the net yield, which we calculate case by case.
- Resale and off-plan are shown separately. A portal listing is almost always resale, so the fair comparison is the upper table.
