What you get

• Excel template: a blank copy and a filled copy comparing four fictional areas.
• A copy prepared for Google Sheets.
• A branded Quick Start guide (PDF). You will be up and running in about ten minutes.

Features

• Up to four areas on one A4 landscape page.
• Gross yield for each area from the price and rent you enter.

• Set your own weights and get a relative ranking of your shortlist.
• Suggested official sources for prices, rents, crime and schools in each UK nation.

Good to know

• The template does not supply area data. You add the figures, so the ranking reflects your research and is not a published rating.
• Not financial or legal advice. Sources checked on 11 November 2026.
• Microsoft Excel (.xlsx, no macros). Google Sheets: import the .xlsx; most features work. Apple Numbers is not supported.
• Free updates for the 2026-27 tax year. If a file doesn't work as described, tell us within 14 days and we'll fix it or refund you.
