London-first UK property return checks
Check whether a property actually makes financial sense.
YieldLens UK helps buyers, renters, landlords, and small business owners screen residential and commercial property decisions before they view, buy, rent, invest, or sign a lease.
Indicative decision-support only. Not a formal valuation or financial advice.
Tools
Start with the check that matches your decision.
YieldLens UK is built around specific property decisions, not generic property content. Pick the route closest to what you are trying to work out.
Commercial lease viability check

Start with the core question: does the property look worth investigating, or are the numbers already too fragile?
Yield estimate
See the indicative gross yield from the purchase price and expected rent.
Cash flow check
Check whether the deal still works after mortgage costs, service charge, and known ownership costs.
Commercial break-even
Estimate the customers per day needed to cover rent, staff, rates, and other costs.
Risk flags
Spot thin cash flow, high rent burden, missing data, and fragile assumptions before you commit.
Two checks, one clear verdict
Residential for yields and cash flow. Commercial for rent burden and break-even risk.
Residential return check
For buy-to-let investors, first-time landlords, renters, buyers, overseas buyers, and students checking whether the rent or purchase price makes sense.
Run residential check →Commercial site check

A score is useful only if the risk is obvious.
YieldLens UK highlights the number that matters, then explains what could break the deal. A property with thin cash flow may still be worth investigating, but it should not be mistaken for a clean win.
