A new build two bed first floor apartment located on a new estate in a desirable area of Walsall. It has been reduced in price within the last month by £10000, so a closer look would definitely be on the cards.

Only one and a half miles from Walsall and Bloxwich town centres and major road networks. Commuting would not be an issue.

So, in my best Lloyd Grossman voice…”Who would live in place like this?”

Ideally, working professionals either single or a couple without children would be desirable. It is of modern design and therefore has all the “mod-cons” one would expect, including a fully fitted kitchen with integrated oven/ hob and enough space for white goods.

If you’ll excuse the pun, but the “key” to this little beauty is the exclusivity. There a courtyard with allocated parking, which can only be accessed by automatic and intercom controlled gates. The entrance to the flat itself also benefits from being intercom controlled; and for those wanting to impress those very important business clients, they can be entertained in the separate dining room.

The whole “ensemble” is finished to  a very high “spec”. However I would question the light coloured carpeting with a view to long term letting. I would be inclined to replace it with laminate, very much in keeping with the rest of the property.

If you’re looking for capital growth, this isn’t for you. Long term letting is the what this particular property is about and with above average yields of 8.14% you can see why.

If you wish to discuss this property further and have a detailed discussion about my opinion and thoughts of whether this is the right investment for you, please feel free to get in touch.  I am happy to share my opinion on any other property or properties you are thinking of purchasing.  Just send me the link.
