H1 2026Sale and annual rent figures are one-bedroom asking-price averages from separate Bayut listing samples. The projected rental yield covers apartments across bedroom types. It is the publisher’s projected ROI, not audited net income or a return calculated for the one-bedroom example. The report does not disclose listing counts, weighting or a breakdown of costs. Prices are benchmarks, not current offers.
Original market sources checked on 17 October 2026. A mean is the arithmetic average; a median is the middle value. Neither is a minimum price.

*Planning rate: £1 = AED 5. Currency fees and purchase costs excluded. Adjust the planning rate in our area comparison. Sale and rental figures come from different listings. They cannot be paired to calculate the return from a particular home.
Bayut’s projected area rental yield is not a verified net return for a particular home. The publisher does not provide a property-specific cost breakdown. Review service charges, vacancy, management, finance and tax separately; returns are not guaranteed.
A closer look at Yas Island
Yas combines residential communities with golf, shopping and major entertainment venues. You might prefer an apartment by the water, a home near the golf course or a quieter family neighbourhood. Explore each part of the island to see how it would fit your day-to-day life.
For a second home, check the routes to places you’d visit regularly. If you’re buying to let, think about likely tenants and check the lease terms and management arrangements. Nearby attractions may be appealing, but they don’t tell you how often your property will be let or how much rent it will earn.
The figures here cover completed apartments. For a townhouse or villa, compare the space, plot, maintenance and community charges separately. With a new development, check whether the payment schedule and expected completion fit your plans to move in or let it.
Your viewing checklist
Use these questions to compare homes in the area, whether you’re viewing in person or speaking to someone locally.
Decide how close you want to be to entertainment venues, then check access and the surroundings during busy periods.
A waterfront apartment and a villa in a residential community meet different needs; compare layout, outdoor space and total running costs.
Check the route to the relevant school, workplace and everyday shops from the exact building rather than using an island-wide travel time.
Confirm the building’s permitted letting arrangements before budgeting for holiday use or short stays.
Ask for the price, buying fees, payment schedule and annual service charges in writing, along with evidence for any estimated rent.
