Put your own numbers in and the comparison does the arithmetic that sales material leaves out: price per square metre, rent per square metre, stamp duty at your own buyer status, and yield after the charges rather than before them.

The yield shown is annual rent less the charges you entered, over price plus stamp duty. It deliberately excludes legal fees, searches, furnishing, letting fees, void periods, tax and currency, so it is not a return: it is a like-for-like ratio for comparing these columns with each other.
No column is marked best, cheapest or highest-yielding. Which one wins depends on what the money has to do, and that is a question about your plan rather than about the three flats.
