How this table is built

Cell asking rent × 12 over the same cell's asking sale price, before costs, voids and finance, from marts_facts.listing_market.gross_yield_asking (cells with fewer than 5 dated listings are not built).
Each place's 12-month figure is the monthly medians weighted by their sample; a place with fewer than 30 lets over the year is not ranked.
measured: a sample of at least three times the floor; indicative: at least the floor.
Ties share a rank and order by sample.
Twelve months for every place; no monthly point is ranked.
No monthly point is ranked: a postcode district records a handful of sales a month, and a month-on-month change there is noise.
