Central Bratislava yields are high. By Global Property Guide estimates, gross rental yields on 100 sq. m. and 120 sq. m. apartments are at around 10.1% Lower yields are available for brand new houses in the suburbs, at around 8%-9.2%.

“We are still feeling the influence of the period when it was practically impossible to find high quality apartments for foreigners,” says Patkai. “But this market is becoming saturated. Location now plays an extremely important role – the view, whether it is new built, whether there are special features - such apartments can be marketed easily.

Hi;Please note that you can't buy anything for 65k in the center of Brats. You are looking at about 80K Euros minimum, and yields are at 5%, what do you think?

just came back from a trip there, yields are 4-5.5% in the centre - NOT 10%. Either prices have doubled since Dec 06 or rents have fallen (which I doubt very much!). I question the Dec 06 rental yield survey...

Ok, we'll take a look. We are planning to update Slovakia shortly. Please remember our rental yields are based on old properties, not new. If you buy new properties you will inevitably get lower yields. Second, they are based on city centre properties, not marginal properties. Third, undoubtedly prices have risen in the past 18 months.
