For Green Leaf Properties, the loss to voids % is calculated as £800 ÷ £9,900 which equals 8.1%. So, we’ve lost 8.1% of our market rental income from the one-month void period. Every investor will have their own tolerance level. Generally, I aim to keep the loss to voids below 5% when averaged over several years. In practice, this means that I need to keep voids to less than two weeks if my tenant changes every year.
