The most surprising part of this Great Britain snapshot? Apartments deliver a much stronger rental return than houses, even though they rent for less. On 30 May 2026, the median asking price for an apartment was €190,354, versus €362,182 for a house — nearly a 2x gap.
That price difference only narrows a little on the rental side. Median monthly rent comes in at €1,132 for apartments and €1,380 for houses, so houses do earn more in absolute terms. But once you factor in purchase price, the yield picture flips: apartments post a 7.44% median gross yield, compared with just 4.37% for houses.
In other words, houses are the bigger-ticket asset, but apartments are doing more work for each euro invested. That usually points to the classic market split: flats concentrated in urban rental demand, and houses priced higher with weaker income efficiency. For anyone weighing income potential against upfront cost, this is a pretty clear signal.
