Today’s Buy To Let Deal Is A Bargain Yielding 8.64% In The Heart Of Walsall Town Centre.

Head of Juicing @Ashmore Lettings & Sales Ltd Walsall Buy to Let Property Deals , , ,

This 1 bed flat is situated at Tudor House, Bridge Street, Walsall, WS1.  On the market with House Network (01245 409116) and priced at £50k, the full details can be found here.

My readers and clients will know that I do not generally highlight flats, apartments and the like, however, I just couldn’t pass this one up as it has just become available and generates impressive yields.

In contrast to the neighbouring cities (Birmingham & Wolverhampton), you would not only net a bargain with this flat at a relatively decent price but at a gross yield of 8.64% at a rental of £360.00 pcm, the buy to let landlord can hope to achieve a healthy gain.  Set right in the heart of Walsall town centre makes this an ideal location for retail and transport access. Unfortunately, there is no parking.

The spec is pretty decent. However, there is no central heating and there is no gas supply, so any heating system installed would have to be all electric. The good news is that an all-electric, cost effective and efficient system could be installed for as little as £1200.00.

Before buying I would enquire about the service charges and the terms of the lease needs to be scrutinised by a qualified professional.  I’ve seen many developments over the years which have deteriorated quickly due to the set-up of service charges either being inadequate or the appointed managing agents being completely incompetent.  Leases can be a minefield and one has to be fully conversant of the consequences if they are not fully understood from the start.  Net yields can be just as quickly decimated if you are not careful with inappropriate costs of Section 20 (major works) due to a lack of foresight by property managers not to mention inexcusable mismanagement of the service charge.

5 Home Decor Ideas for Walsall Property you can steal
5 Home Decor Ideas for Walsall Property you can steal

Last week I was asked to meet a potential client who was looking for some advice.  They said they found my blog interesting and wanted to pick my brain on how best to present their property which they were undecided what they should do with i.e. sell / rent or rent to own.  Now, regardless of which route you decide to take presenting the property in its best light is a minimum.  Afterall, you would never take a battered car to auction and ask for the highest of prices!

Hotel rooms can be a great source of inspiration when it comes to deciding on the perfect decor for your own home.  It’s also about showing off different aspects of possibilities which a buyer/ renter can quiet easily associate with.

Walsall Property Values Rise by 3.65% in the Last 12 Months!

Walsall Property Values Rise by 3.65% in the Last 12 Months
Walsall Property Values Rise by 3.65% in the Last 12 Months

Now the headline may not mean much to some of us but when you compare & contrast the value increase against the average national salary drop of 1%…just goes to show that a positive spread of 4.65% is actually quite healthy!

The most recent set of data from the Land Registry has stated that property values in Walsall and the surrounding area were 3.65% higher than 12 months ago and 25.20% higher than September 2012.

Despite the uncertainty over Brexit as Walsall (and most of the UK’s) property values continue their medium and long-term upward trajectory. As economics is about supply and demand, the story behind the Walsall property market can also be seen from those two sides of the story.

Today’s Buy To Let Deal Yields 6.07% 2 Bedroom Semi Detached House, Lindon Drive, Walsall, WS8.

Head of Juicing @Ashmore Lettings & Sales Ltd Walsall Buy to Let Property Deals , , , , , , , ,

A two bedroom semi detached house, Lindon Drive, Brownhills, Walsall WS8. The asking price is in the region of £123500k with Goodchilds of Brownhills (01543 526869).

It’s a newbuild property and was last sold in 2007 for £120k, but I can’t see it reaching the current asking price this time around. It’s a pretty good spec and very much good to go as a rental, but the garden is on the small side.

You can get away with the decor as it is, but you may want to get rid of the lime green in the one of the bedrooms. Just a thought since everything else is neutral.

As to be expected from a newbuild property it has all the mod cons including a modern fully fitted kitchen with oven/ hob, modern bathroom, double glazing, gas central heating and there are two allocated parking spaces.

The location is ideal for commuting. Not far from the Chester and Lichfield roads leading to Cannock, Walsall, Lichfield and Streetly. Many other amenities and services are all within a short distance away.

I appraise the pcm at a minimum of £625.00 and if the property sells at the current asking price, this makes a yield of 6.07%.

Would you buy a leasehold house in Walsall?

Would you buy a leasehold house in Walsall?
Would you buy a leasehold house in Walsall?

Following on from last week’s article and my marathon break from the blog – I’ve had some interesting queries around freehold and leasehold property.  I have written about this subject in the past (click HERE for the previous article) however, the theme I’ve noticed amongst my blog reading friends requests is…’which one is the more beneficial?’

In total there are 23.36 million properties in England and Wales with 64% being of owner occupied tenure and 36% being rented (includes both the private and social landlords).

Over nine out of ten of those English and Welsh owner-occupied properties are a whole house or bungalow. Now, most people would assume they would be freehold – however, of those renting nearly half of rental properties, 44% to be precise, lived in other leasehold apartments and flats.

Walsall Property Market Update – After the Holiday & Since the General Election…

Walsall – After the Holiday & Since the General Election
Walsall – After the Holiday & Since the General Election

Back on the Blog after the longest break I’ve had in two years and a record number of weddings attended!!  With schools opening up this week, I don’t know about you, but I’ll be glad to see the back end of the kids.  Whilst away I have received numerous email requests to discuss various topics of interest by my readers.  I picked the one requested most but I promise to try and get around addressing them all over the coming weeks.

Housing has always been the Cinderella issue at General Elections.  Policing, NHS, Education, Tax and Pensions etc., are always headline grabbing stuff and always seem to go to ‘the ball’. However, housing, which affects all our lives, always seems to get left behind and forgotten.

Nonetheless, the way the politicians act on housing can have a fundamental effect on the wellbeing of the UK plc and the nation as a whole.
