Laval Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Laval

Laval sits on the Mayenne River, where its historic centre and the Château de Laval give the departmental capital a distinctive setting. Riverside streets and older architecture provide a recognizable backdrop for anyone considering an apartment investment here.

In October 2026, the clearest signal for Laval apartments is the contrast between rents and sale prices. Average rent is up 34.7% year over year, while the average sale price is down 6.5% over the same period. That difference may make the income side of a purchase look more compelling relative to its price, but it does not mean every apartment offers a better return. The reported yield is 4.82%, a reference point rather than a promise for an individual property.

Average monthly rent is €660, giving the rental benchmark a concrete scale without turning it into a forecast for any particular address. The opposing annual movements matter more than either change alone: citywide rent and sale-price averages have not moved in the same direction. These figures do not establish whether the same kinds of apartments underpin both averages. Nor does the headline yield account for the costs and circumstances of a specific purchase, which can change an investor’s calculation.

For an October 2026 assessment, compare an apartment’s asking price and realistic rent with these citywide benchmarks, then examine its own expenses. Laval’s figures offer a starting point; the gap between the annual trends is worth investigating, not treating as a guaranteed outcome.
