Values: sales since 2021 of homes with an energy certificate (bedrooms estimated from its rooms), carried to today on the local price index; the cheaper quarter is what a quarter of them go for under. * Too few sales here, so the council's figure. Rents are estimates: the council's typical private rent (ONS) adjusted for how values here compare. Gross yield = a year's rent ÷ value, before costs. Compare it with other places
