In Liege, gross rental yields for apartments typically run about 4% to 6% in 2025-2026. That reflects a city apartment median near 169,000 euros (Fednot, 2025) set against monthly rents of roughly 600 to 850 euros for studios and one-bedroom units (ULiege campus data, 2025).
Gross rental yield is annual rent divided by the all-in purchase price. In Liege, the maths starts from a city apartment median of about 169,000 euros in 2025, while the wider province sits near 183,000 euros, up 6.2% year on year (Fednot analysis reported February 2026). Houses are dearer, with a provincial median of 238,000 euros (Fednot, 2025).
On the rent side, ULiege campus guidance puts a student room (kot) at 400 to 600 euros a month, a studio at 450 to 550 euros, and a larger apartment at 550 to 750 euros (ULiege, 2025). A one-bedroom apartment bought at 169,000 euros and let at 700 euros returns about 5.0% gross before costs; a small studio bought cheaper and let to a student can reach the upper end of the range.
Demand underpins these numbers. ULiege enrolled more than 26,000 students, a rise of almost 7% at the 2024 intake (RTBF, 2024), and the city counts more than 7,000 kots (ULiege campus, 2025). That depth of demand keeps rental vacancy short and supports rents around the university quarters and the Guillemins area.
The counter-intuitive lesson is that in Liege the smallest units, studios and student rooms, usually out-yield large family apartments, because rent per square metre is highest at the bottom of the market. Net yield lands lower than gross once you deduct the précompte immobilier, insurance, common charges and a provision for maintenance and rental vacancy, typically bringing a 5% gross closer to 3% to 3.5% net (in line with the national 2.5% to 3.5% net range, estate-value.be, 2026).
