EPRA Net Initial Yield

The net initial yield shows the ratio of annualized minus property outgoings (annualized net rent) to the gross fair values of the properties. The fair values are increased by the estimated purchasers’ costs.

The topped-up net initial yield eliminates the rental incentives in the annualized net rental income. Rental incentives are of only minor importance to a company specializing in residential properties.
