What the yield figure is
Local Housing Allowance is the most housing benefit will pay towards rent in an area, set by the Valuation Office Agency for each Broad Rental Market Area and bedroom count. It is a floor for rent, not a forecast: a tenant on benefits can pay it, and market rents usually sit above it. The yield here is the 3-bedroom LHA rate for the year, divided by the median price paid for a terraced house in the district over the last 12 months (HM Land Registry). Gross, before costs, before voids, before finance. It is a screening number for comparing areas, not an appraisal of any house.
April 2026 to March 2027 (the same figures as April 2024, per the 2026 Modification Order).
