I really like shopping for low-cost FTSE 100 shares. Who doesn’t fancy a cut price? I additionally love dividend-paying shares with excessive yields. Put them collectively and what have you ever obtained? Effectively, let’s see.
I’ve been trawling the UK’s blue-chip index for firms that look good worth and yield a minimum of 5% a 12 months. These three jumped out and now could also be a superb time to contemplate shopping for them, as a result of if their shares rise so will their valuations, whereas these yields will come down.

NatWest shares soar
Right this moment, NatWest Group (LSE: NWG) combines a bumper 5.3% trailing dividend yield with a lowly P/E ratio of simply 9.1. A excessive yield and low valuation is usually a signal that their inventory is struggling, however that’s not the case right here.
The NatWest share worth is up a hefty 40% over the past 12 months, and a superb 220% over 5. All dividends are on prime of that.
Larger rates of interest have given the large banks a possibility to widen internet curiosity margins, the distinction between what they pay savers and cost debtors. Earnings are surging consequently. Within the case of NatWest they’re up 24% to £7.7bn in full-year 2025. Nonetheless, development might gradual with rates of interest more likely to fall.
Additionally, NatWest is closely targeted on the UK, and the home financial system isn’t precisely thriving. However given the earnings and entry worth, I nonetheless suppose it’s nicely price contemplating with a long-term view.
LandSec has restoration potential
Excessive rates of interest haven’t been as useful for actual property funding belief (REIT) Land Securities Group (LSE: LAND). LandSec is among the UK’s largest industrial property homeowners and builders, with a diversified portfolio of places of work and buying centres. Sadly, it’s been hit by the working from residence pattern, on-line buying and the cost-of-living disaster.
Please word that tax remedy is determined by the person circumstances of every shopper and could also be topic to vary in future. The content material on this article is offered for info functions solely. It’s not meant to be, neither does it represent, any type of tax recommendation.
Rising inflation and rates of interest then pushed up the price of capital, whereas financial considerations have knocked beneficial properties from property disposals.
The Landsec share worth has had a unstable 5 years, climbing simply 8.5% in that point, however there are indicators of restoration because it’s up 16.7% within the final 12 months.
With rates of interest anticipated to fall, the outlook is getting brighter and whereas Landsec isn’t as low-cost as NatWest, a P/E of 13.2 isn’t unhealthy. The trailing yield of 6.1% is reasonably good. There are nonetheless dangers, however the rewards might begin to circulate and I believe Landsec can be price contemplating for earnings seekers, with a minimal 10-year view.
Admiral fee of earnings
Motor insurer Admiral Group (LSE: ADM) combines a shocking trailing yield of 6.67% with a cheap P/E of 13.3. Its shares had been flying final summer time, with first-half interim consequence displaying pre-tax earnings up 69% to £521m, pushed by robust performances in its UK motor, family and Admiral Cash operations.
Since then, the inventory has been considerably unstable. It spiked about 3,600p final 12 months, however has since fallen 20% to 2,865p. Over 12 months, it’s up a modest 4%. Nonetheless, this might supply new buyers a possibility to bag that earnings at an honest worth.
Admiral has been hit by a slew of dealer downgrades, as powerful motor insurance coverage competitors and continued excessive claims inflation threatens margins. This can be a cyclical sector, so share worth ups and downs are to be anticipated. But it surely’s nonetheless price contemplating. The shares could also be bumpy within the quick time period however with luck, the dividends ought to compensate.
