Entry level price 2 bed maisonette, £130k in Emerson Valley, gross yield of 6.2%

Looking for a first property with not much work needed? This could be it, a 2 bed maisonette in a very well maintained block on the corner of Pickering Drive and Coldeaton Lane, Emerson Valley.
 
 
 
 
 
Offered for sale at £130k, this ground floor property has been remodelled slightly to open up the kitchen and lounge/diner into one large living space. With UPVC double glazing throughout and no upper chain, this could be a decent earner on the rental market, our last one in this very block rented at £675 PCM late last year, if this property rented at that level the yield would be 6.2% gross of any service charges, so do enquire as to these.

Rarely available, 3 bed semi + garage in Walnut Tree, £220k, around 5.2% yield but excellent prospects for growth in this area

This fantastic 3 bed semi is right on the doorstep of ALL the schools on Walnut Tree, offers enough space for a family and has a garage and downstairs WC as well - all of the things a family would want in order to stay here as long term tenants.
 
 
 
 
Try to bargain for a slight reduction if you can, but with seemingly all the interior works completed to a good standard, at £220k this property would return a rental yield of around 5.2% initially, but what you really are buying this property for is the future capital appreciation in a fantastic and sought after location - since the year 2000, similar 3 bed properties on this street have increased in value by 139%, and with the schools still maintaining an excellent reputation locally, we see this as a great indicator towards future growth potential.

Great school catchment - 3 bed house on Walnut Tree, £200k with a yield of 5.4%

Today we have a fantastic opportunity to acquire a 3 bed house on Walnut Tree, virtually on the doorstep of excellent first/middle and secondary schools, and close to all local amenities, doctors and shops. Boasting the extra living space in a conservatory certainly adds some value and kerb appeal here as well.
 
 
 
 
On the market for £200k, this will be in high demand from tenant families wanting to take advantage of all that the area has to offer including the school catchment areas, and will rent at around £900 PCM giving a yield of 5.4%, with great prospects for future capital appreciation as this will always be in demand and find a ready market. Since 2001, a very similar property on this road has increased in value by 122%, so you can see how things have been in this location.

Potential bargain - 2 bed, 2 bath modern apartment in Fenny Stratford, £150k with gross yield of 6.2%

Another 2 bedroom / 2 bathroom apartment today, once again this is just crying out for 2 professional sharers to take this, in a modern development just off the old and new A5 in Fenny Stratford.
 
 
 
 
On the market today at £150k (this may be a repossession, in which case they will be open to increased offers over and above this so don't delay if you are interested), it might need a bit of a clean and a little paint work but would achieve a gross yield of around 6.2%, which is not to be ignored in this market.

Perfect for sharers! 2 bed / 2 bath top floor apartment on Broughton, £170k with gross yield of 5.8%

Some properties are just made to suit their purpose exactly, and this one is calling out for 2 professional sharers with its 2 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, located in Broughton with fantastic access to the M1 for busy commuters.
 
 
 
Offered for sale at a tad under £170k, this would rent today at around £820 PCM if fully furnished, giving an initial gross yield of around 5.8%, and you will never have a problem with voids here as we have high demand for this type of property. Currently there is only 1 external photo so do get along for a viewing and ask about service charges and ground rent, but on the face of it this could be a decent investment for someone.

Excellent starter flat - 2 bedroom in Bletchley Park next to the railway station, offered at £165k, gross yield of 6%

This week we've got a few apartments to show, and these are always popular with young couples, professional sharers and people who just want a low maintenance lifestyle. The good thing about this property is that it is on the doorstep of Bletchley railway station, would probably suit sharers who wish to keep their living costs down (it has 2 bathrooms), and is fairly modern.
 
 
 
Do enquire as to the internal specification, fit & finish and get an internal viewing, as there is only one external photo currently, but assuming it is in good order (or could be made so) then with an asking price of £165k you could achieve a gross yield of 6% straight away, which in this current market is a great return.

Great value - 3 bed end terrace with garage & conservatory on Furzton, £200k with 5.4% yield today

This typical 3 bed end terraced property offers a little extra space than the rest with a conservatory, a large kitchen diner and a garage, in the popular and established Furzton area.
 
 
 
 
Offered for sale at a shade under £200k (bargain a little here for an extra saving), this would appeal to families looking for a long term home that won't break the bank, and for the investor this would currently yield around 5.4%, but don't forget that rents are rising at such a pace in Milton Keynes that this has the potential to increase nicely with just a little work to keep the property refreshed in future years.
 
Average prices for this sort of property in this area have risen by 156% since 2000, so that should give you an idea of the growth possible in such a location.

What a great buy - 2 bed terraced in Tattenhoe at £190k, initial yield of 5.2% but great capital appreciation in this area

Come to the open day on Saturday 24/1/15 for this one (details in the link below) - a 2 bed terraced house in Tattenhoe, with all the work done to a very high standard, and with a great modern finish to the kitchen & bathroom.
 
 
 
 
The asking price is competitive given the condition and finish shown, with seemingly no work left to be done. At £190k, this would give an initial yield of around 5.2% today, but with excellent prospects for capital growth in this area that is where your future value comes from, and the yield will be vastly improved within a year or two - this is a popular area with great schools locally, open countryside close by and modern housing stock. A very similar property sold for around £85k in 2000, at todays asking price this shows an increase of 123% which gives an indication of the sort of growth it has already achieved.

How about jumping onto this quickly before you miss a bargain - a 2 bedroom apartment on the established and popular residential estate of Westcroft, currently offered in what appears to be vacant condition with minimal work to do, possibly a lick of paint and a clean being all that is needed.
 
 
 
 
If you could secure this property for the current price of around £140k, this would give a respectable yield of around 6.6% gross, and this will let well to a young professional couple or family, with great schools locally and excellent shopping nearby this won't stick around for long so get along and have a look at the internal condition for yourself.

Wow! 1 bedroom top floor apartment in The Hub, £175k with a potential yield of 6.2% - this will let so easily!

This very nice top floor 1 bedroom apartment in The Hub, Central Milton Keynes, could be a very good let for years to come. These properties are always sought after by professionals on contracts locally, and we always let them within a day or so when we have them available.
 
 
 
 
This one even has a balcony, underground secure parking and all the right ingredients to make it desirable to tenants. If fully furnished, this would let for at least £900 PCM at this time, showing a decent 6.2% gross yield, but don't forget to enquire about the service charges and other on-going fixed costs.

Modern apartment in Fenny Stratford, £145k asking price with a potential gross yield of 6.4%

How about a modern and stylish 2 double bedroom apartment on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, just on the edge of Fenny Stratford so it has fantastic road links to the A5 & M1? This property offers exceptional value at £145k and come with secure underground parking as well.
 
 
 
 
You will need to look into the on-going service charges to make sure they are not punitive, but on the face of it you could be looking at a gross yield of around 6.4% with this property, and it appears not to need anything in the way of renovation before going straight onto the rental market at around £775-800 PCM.
