How is the rental value of a home calculated?

The rental value of a property is calculated using a comparative market analysis. This involves comparing your property with similar properties that have recently been rented out or are currently available for rent.

Factors that influence rental value include:

• Location and neighborhood

• Property type (apartment, house, new construction, investment)

• Living area

• Number of bedrooms

• EPC score and energy efficiency

• Outdoor space (garden, patio, balcony)

• Garage or parking space

• Finish and overall condition

A professional rental appraisal therefore provides a well-founded and realistic rental price—not just a guess.
