Research Methodology:
Rental yields are updated twice a year based on asking rents and asking purchase prices for 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments in Pakistan's major cities.
We source data from leading local property portals, capturing current market conditions as reflected in active listings.
All figures are gross yields — before taxes, maintenance, vacancies, or other costs. Net yields are typically 1.5%–2% lower.
