Yorkshire Grove, Leamore, Walsall, WS2 is on the market with Goodchilds, Bloxwich (01922 312016) priced at £130,000.  The full property advert can be found at:

Search for this property with a postcode on Google Maps or on any other navigation system and you’ll probably end up taking a scenic tour of Walsall!  Situated on a new development (joint venture by Mar City Homes and Taylor Wimpey), called Jubilee Gardens I think this makes an ideal investment property for a few reasons.  This site used to be the old dumping ground for the local authority which was occupied by the DWP and warehouses/ storage for old buses.  Now transformed by the developers which has plans to build approximately 200 new homes.  Like with any new development under section 106 rules there is some social housing present however, these are given under the owner-occupier tenure of shared ownership leases.

Personally I like new builds which are built well.  They usually come with a retention period of at least 12 months from the builder and NHBC guarantee of 10 years.  There is no refurbish work to undertake and with the decoration done all the tenant has to do is move in with furniture to make it a home.  What I particularly like about this development is the potential for capital appreciation.  In recent years, whilst many areas of Walsall has undergone regeneration of one type or another the northern part of Walsall has seen, by way of comparison, very little.  The good news is that many developments are now going up with lots of other regenerative plans for the area.  Over time these areas will become attractive and appealing to both home buyers and renters.  A healthy recipe for potential capital appreciation.

Slightly pricey at £130,000 I would certainly negotiate and see if I can reduce the asking price but even at this price you would be able to easily achieve a yield of 5.5%.

If you would like my opinion on any investments please feel free to send me the links and I’ll happily share my opinion with you.  I can also assist with the whole buying process if you are a new buy-to-let investor from negotiating to assisting with arranging a mortgage and of course finding you a half decent tenant!

It may not be the prettiest type of property or in the most affluent area of Walsall but there are many other pros which attracted me to this property.  The first point is the yield which at 6.3% is a good return in any investor’s book.  Also, the property seems like not much work is required (other than decoration preference).  Being in a community where family accommodation is highly sought after this should rent out all day with very little void periods in between tenancies.

Close to Bescot Retail Park, Bescot Stadium (Sunday Market), Morrisons, J9 of the M6, Palfrey Park and my favourite Kebab Shop!  Just on the market I would have no hesitation in recommending this to investors seeking a good return in perhaps an unlikely investment property.

If you wish to discuss the above or have any other property related matter you’d like to discuss, I’m happy yo hear your thoughts.  Please feel free to contact me or why not send me a link to the property you would like to discuss.

I have to say that I like the look of this property which is situated ideally near J10 of the M6.  It has plenty of plus points such as a nice fitted kitchen/ diner and a spacious lounge and conservatory downstairs.  A low maintenance rear garden and an upstairs bathroom which you sometimes do not get with these types of houses.  Not to mention the cul-de-sac location.  The only con is that the driveway is shared and I personally don’t like the argy-bargy of sharing.  However, there is plenty of space to make suitable future changes with a garden out front which looks like you would be able to fit several cars after adding a driveway.

Thorncroft Way - 2 Bed Kitchen

Thorncroft Way, Yew Tree, Walsall, WS5 is on the market with Shipways (0121 659 1499) at £80,000

The Yew Tree area of Walsall has been the focal point of regeneration for the past 15-20 years now.  Development is still ongoing with new housing nearby which is a good indicator of potential capital growth.  This property was on the market in March 2015 with an asking price of £100,000 recently reduced to £80,000.  Looking at the pictures I would suggest that very little is required by way of improvement to the property and an astute buyer would look to negotiate further on the price.

Reduced from £159,995 to £157,495 this 3 Bed Detached property is worth a punt and given the short time the property has been on the market with a price reduction already, I would suggest the seller is keen to sell.  Play your cards right and you could negotiate your way to a further decrease in price, increasing on the potential yield of this detached property.
