Swedish property yields are low to moderate. Mid-sized central Stockholm apartments (80 to 120 sq. m.) have the most generous gross yields, at 6 to 7%. Other sized properties are likely to have lower yields, at around 3 to 4%. Properties in suburban Stockholm have relatively lower yields, at 3% to 5%, while apartments in the centre of the second-largest city of Göteborg can yield around 5% to 7%.
Because rents are tied to the age of the property, the higher yields in the city-centre reflect partly the newer housing stock in those areas.

It seems to me that rents are controlled by authorities rather than the free market. 10 year waiting lists for prime appartments why nor just increase the rents? I would be interested in any commentsRegards Roly
