Armenia1-bed: £280–£600/mo · yield 5.5–9%
Yerevan is Armenia's fast-growing capital and an increasingly popular destination for digital nomads, expats, and returning diaspora. Rental demand has surged since 2022, pushing central rents upward, but the city still offers excellent value compared to European capitals.
Tbilisi
Georgia1-bed: £350–£900/mo · yield 6–10%
Tbilisi has established itself as the top destination for digital nomads and remote workers in the South Caucasus. Low taxes, visa-free access for most nationalities, strong café culture, and affordable rents make it a magnet for international tenants.
Accra
Ghana1-bed: £350–£900/mo · yield 7–12%
Accra is West Africa's premier business hub and a rapidly growing tech ecosystem. The rental market is largely dollarised in expat-facing areas, with most landlords requiring 1–2 years' rent in advance.
London
United Kingdom1-bed: £1,600–£3,500/mo · yield 3.5–6.5%

City rental guides: frequently asked questions
- Which city has the cheapest rent on GeraRent?

- How are these average rent figures worked out?
- Each city guide gives an indicative monthly range by property type, expressed in GBP for cross-city comparison, alongside per-neighbourhood one- and two-bed figures. Ranges reflect typical advertised rents for the city centre and popular districts, not a survey mean, and are clearly labelled as indicative. Always check live listings for the current rate before you commit.
- Do tenant rights differ between these cities?
- Yes — tenant rights follow national law, so deposit caps, notice periods and rent-control rules differ by country. Each city guide summarises the local tenancy framework and the key points a renter should know before signing, with a link to browse verified listings in that market.
