Kents Hill 2 bed entry level house, £165k with 5.5% yield

A 2 bedroom house for £165k in a nice area, is that possible?  Well if you search hard then yes it is, and this is a nice little starter home which any tenant family would be happy to live in.

 

 

 

 

 

Offering a reasonable amount of space internally, located close to good schools & shops and with excellent road links to the M1 and A5, this would suit either a young family with their first child or a couple just starting out. With an expected gross yield of around 5.5%, this is a good earner for an investor looking to get in at a lower level, and historically we find that affordable 2 bed houses always let without difficulty and very quickly with 708 searches for a property such as this in Kents Hill alone last month - the total Milton Keynes figure was over 83000 searches in the same time, so don't worry about trying to find tenants.

 

As for growth, 2 bedroom cluster houses in this street have grown in value by 34% in the past 5 years, which you have to admit is better than any saving account - remember that the tenant will also have been paying your mortgage if you had one, or providing you with positive cashflow every month if you didn't borrow against the property.

Beautiful 1 bed apartment close to Furzton Lake, £135k with 5.6% gross yield

We have a number of lovely 1 bedroom houses on this road, today though we are talking about a quaint 1 bedroom apartment.

 

 

 

 

 

In what seems to be a clean and tidy condition, but with no great frills, this apartment is offered for sale at around £135k, and with an expected rental return of £625 PCM this would show a gross yield of 5.6%, and at that price it would be very appealing to a young professional looking to live out of the city centre in a more residential location.

 

With no upper chain, low service charges, under floor heating installed and allocated off road parking in the private residents carpark, this has an awful lot going for it.

Bancroft 1 bed apartment, £115k with 6.3% gross yield

Today we have a 1 bed apartment on offer via one of our own landlords, available immediately with vacant possession for £115k.

 

 

 

 

 

With a lease remaining of 975 years, access to the local residents club (annual subscription paid for 2015), zero ground rent and annual service charges of approximately £600, these are very lettable properties and always rent well with young professionals - we still have another 2 in this very block. With a typical rent today of £600 PCM unfurnished and £625 furnished, this represents a gross yield of at least 6.3%.

 

The vendor is offering a range of white goods and chattels within the asking price, with the furniture available at an additional negotiable price.

Wolverton modern 2 bed house with conservatory, £189,500 with yield of 5.4%

This is a nice one - 2 double bedrooms, downstairs WC and a lovely conservatory. We had this same house just around the corner and could have let it at least 10 times over, so there is no risk of having it empty.

 

 

 

 

 

Offered for sale by the owner occupiers for £189,500 you could try for a few pounds off, but the market being what it is lately, that might be harder than it once was. With an expected yield of around 5.4%, it would more than pay its own way, but the big earner here is long term growth, as this end of Wolverton has been heavily redeveloped in recent years and the housing stock is very modern and attractive, which always appeals to renters and potential buyers.

Investment opportunity, 2x 1 bed maisonettes to be sold as a pair for around £260k, 5.8% minimum yield

Through our trade contacts, we have been informed that a local landlord has 2x freehold maisonettes for sale on Walnut Tree, for a total of £260k, but there is some room for negotiation on this.

(photo shown is of the general area and may not be the actual unit for sale)

It is one property on top of the other, and if let furnished each could achieve around £675 PCM, unfurnished approximately £625-640 PCM, giving a minimum yield of 5.8% if the full asking price was paid and the minimum rent achieved.

So far we do not have any more information other than they must be sold as pair, so please call us to be put in contact with the vendor to arrange a viewing and to learn more about this off-market opportunity.

Still available - in great school catchment, 3 bed house on Walnut Tree, £200k with a yield of 5.4%

This lovely house is still available today, and represents 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.

Wolverton 2 bedroom ground floor flat + basement, £140k with potential 6.4% gross yield

Something a little different today, a nicely presented 2 bedroom ground floor flat with basement bedroom and garden, in the heart of the old railway town of Wolverton.

 

 

 

 

Offered for sale at £140k, this should rent for around £725-750 PCM, giving a gross yield today of 6.4%, and being in the centre of town within easy walking distance of the mainline train station this will appeal to a young couple or even professional sharers. With parking allocated behind the rear garden, and a small decked courtyard, this is urban living with a historic twist, as these old Victorian terraces still ooze character and presence.

 

 

 

If we had marketed this property for rent over the last month, it would have appeared in 3,815 Rightmove searches alone - and in a very vibrant and bustling location, it is sure to have been snapped up quickly. The last time we had a 2 bed apartment locally (just 2 streets away), it let on the first afternoon of viewings to a very happy couple of young sharers.

Renovation project! 2 bed semi in Bletchley, £167,500, potential yield of 5.7%

Is anyone looking for a project? On the face of it, it looks like it will be fairly superficial and also involve work in the kitchen & bathroom, plus a full repaint and new flooring.

 

 

 

 

 

At an asking price of £167,500 this could be a decent little bargain for someone with the skills to get stuck in and do a lot of the work themselves, and being close to the centre of town with off road parking on the driveway, this would suit a lot of local people, and also commuters who can walk to the train station in a few minutes from this location.

 

 

 

 

 

With a potential yield of 5.7%, this also offers a decent return in the local market, and is the sort of job that can be turned around fairly quickly for an early stage investor. With 2,947 searches on Rightmove for just such a property in this location last month, you can see the level of demand is there. If you would like to talk about the potential of this property, please give us a call today on 01908 562582.

What great value - 1 bed maisonette in Two Mile Ash, £120k with 6% gross yield

We have just seen this 1 bed maisonette appear on the market for £120k on Two Mile Ash, and these are in high demand through us, we had one recently and could have let this 10 times in a day such was the response and interest.

 

 

 

 

 

If put onto the rental market today, this would achieve £600 PCM giving a gross yield of 6%, but even better than that it comes with a tenant in situ, so you will not suffer 1 moment of void with this from the moment you become the owner. To give an example of how many people are currently looking for such a property, last week there were 215 searches for this very property on just Two Mile Ash alone, and well over 14,000 across Milton Keynes as a whole, so you can see how a property of this size and budget is in high demand.

Walnut Tree 3 bed + conservatory, now reduced to £185k, yield of 5.7%

We originally blogged about this property back on December 4th, so I guess the sale must have fallen through in the meantime. Here is what we said back then, and today all of that still applies, but at the newly reduced price the yield has improved to 5.7%:

"The ever popular Walnut Tree area continues to offer a vast selection of properties to suit every budget, style and size of family. Situated within the catchment area of some very good and extremely popular schools, this 3 bedroom property with a large conservatory is perfect for families wanting to put down roots in the area."

 

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-48949586.html?premiumA=true

 

 

On the market now at a reduced price of £185k, this property could achieve around £875 PCM on the rental market right now, but better than that it offers a great opportunity for future capital growth, as this is ALWAYS a popular area for homeowners and tenants alike, so you will always have options in years to come. Property such as this sold for around £170k earlier last year, but back in 2000 the typical asking price was £76k for this type of house, so if the vendor achieves their asking price then it would have grown by at least 150%

Room to improve - Newport Pagnell 2 bed at £180k, yield of 5.3%

This property has been on the market for a month now, and although it is fairly tidy and modern there is still some scope for improvement, namely in tidying the front & rear gardens and more importantly fitting gas central heating throughout.

 

 

 

 

Offered for sale at around £180k, allow £5k for the renovations and it would then rent in such condition for around £825 PCM giving a yield of around 5.3%, and this would rent well to young families wanting to stay in the area where there is just not enough affordable housing for them. Growth wise, a house such as this would have sold for £152k 5 years ago, so this would be an 18% increase in value over that period, and in fact asking prices have now surpassed the peak of 2007, which means the market is now really moving in the right direction.
