Humongous Change of Walsall’s Shared Households!!
Humongous Change of Walsall’s Shared Households!!

A day in the life of a Property Manager is never dull. One of the joys of my profession is meeting interesting people every day. If I had to choose who I enjoying meeting the most (landlords, tenants, contractors, developers, solicitors, other fellow professionals) then, I would have to say…landlords! The cogs of a landlord have always intrigued me and they can come up with some of the most interesting topics/ thoughts/ questions ever!!

The other day I met with a Walsall landlord who told me that he had been chatting with an architect friend of his who informed him that back in the mid 2000’s, the developments he was asked to draw up were a balance of one and two bed properties, compared to today where the majority of the buildings he is designing are more towards two and sometimes three bedrooms. Now of course, this was all subjective but it made me think if there was any truth in that and how this affected the Walsall property market?

Today’s Buy To Let Deal, 2 Bed Terraced House, Upper Forster Street, Walsall, WS2. With Yields Of 6.00%.

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

A two bedroom terraced house literally a stone’s throw from the town centre of Walsall, WS2. It has recently been added (within the last 7 days).

I have to be honest from the outset, the internal decor would need to be changed, it requires making more uniform and lighter. However, there is a modern kitchen and bathroom, gas central heating, double glazing and off-road parking.

The selling price is pretty reasonable for such a property in this location being £110000.

Walsall Property and the Housing White Paper..Back to the Future Part 2 (2037)!!

Walsall Property and the Housing White Paper..Back to the Future Part 2 (2037)!!
Walsall Property and the Housing White Paper..Back to the Future Part 2 (2037)!!

I had an interesting conversation with a landlord who called me last week.  He manages his own portfolio and seemed well versed with the lettings industry.  He kept himself updated of the constant and fast changing world of housing and all the happenings in the Walsall Property Market.  He said he had been receiving my newsletters for some time now and followed my Blog with interest and wanted to pick my brain on the much awaited housing White Paper.  A summary of my thoughts and discussion with the landlord follows…

In case you didn’t know, a few weeks ago, the Government released a White Paper on housing.  It was interesting to note that the Private Rental Sector (PRS) played a key part in the future plans for housing. This is especially important for our increasing Walsall population.  It follows nicely from the article I wrote last week regarding Walsall property since 1981 where we looked back at what has happened since then.  In today’s article we can marry both the White Paper impact on Walsall’s Property Market, together with projections for the future and how they both tie in.

In 1981, the population of Walsall stood at 255,509…

…and today it stands at 278,902.

Staying in the same area as my last buy to let deal because the bargains keep on a comin’. A 3 bedroom semi detached house in the WS3 area of Walsall, currently marketed by Webbs Estate Agents (0121 312727). It appears to be a very decent spec with a distinct ready to let fee…Whoa! What’s going on in the kitchen? That, is it a colour? Well, whatever it is, has to go. But to be honest doing a bit of decorating in the kitchen is no great shakes, we’re in it for the long run.

Walsall Property – Back To The Future 1981!

Walsall Property – Back To The Future 1981!
Walsall Property – Back To The Future 1981!

Oddly, for some reason, as a 5 year old back in 1981, I remember some things quiet vividly and others not so much thankfully!  I can remember there was a lot of snow and black ice everywhere which had me and my father playing games such as taking a running slide to see who can ski the furthest!  In other parts of the living world I was happily oblivious to the fact that; Mrs. T was in power, we had a Royal Wedding, England won the Ashes, Walsall FC were managed by Alan Buckley and Bucks Fizz won Eurovision!!

So what has happened to property prices since then I thought?  How have things transformed?  The number of homeowners and property investors who wished they had in hindsight, purchased up every house in Walsall all those years ago, particularly when you consider what has happened to Walsall property prices since…

…Walsall Property Values since 1981 have risen by 646%!

A three bedroom terraced house in the Pleck area of Walsall, WS2. It has literally just been added (two days ago). plenty of photos show a property that has an acceptable spec.
