A 3 bedroom semi detached house in the Alumwell area of Walsall, currently marketed by Bairstoweves (01922 312 791).

There is an open house viewing on Saturday 21st January 2017 from 10.00am so get yourself along to it and have a look for yourself.

Looks like a decent spec, but the decor will need to be changed for obvious reasons. However, without a internal viewing it is impossible to assess if any other improvements need to be made.

The pcm rental you could expect for this property is in the region of £595.00 and therefore if the property sells at the current asking price of £110k this will result in a yield of 6.49%.

I’m getting a lot of deja vu these days and there I go again! Or did I? I wrote about this one back in August. The difference being that when I first found this property it was listed with Purple Bricks and now it is listed with Great Move. Ok, fair enough. Now, IF the reason for the switching agents was because there was no interest in the 4 months that the property was posted with Purple Bricks, I completely understand, why not give another agent a go? However, since moving over to Great Move the asking price has increased by £5000. So, it does beg the question, if there was no interest for 4 months with one agent at £69000, why would more interest be generated in the same property for an extra five grand? Well, not everyone may have seen the original posting and have absolutely no idea the price has been hiked. So ladies and gents, this is exactly where I come in, your friendly neighbourhood blogger. I like to inform and help advise my readers with what the latest news is within the Walsall property market as we all know, forewarned is forearmed.

Even if you are new to the Private Rented Sector or an experienced investor with a portfolio, I think you seriously should take a look at this property.

Priced at £100000 for a three bed semi, this is an absolute steal. I could show you many three bed terraced houses going for the same, just under or even greater than this one is marketed for. So the question is, why would you buy a terraced house for the same price when obviously there is potential for capital growth and almost certainly the rental yield will be higher? No-brainer as far as I am concerned.

The full property details are here.

The pcm for this property would be in the region of £595.00 based on the property being upgraded. This would give a rental yield of 7.14%

A traditional three bedroom terraced house in the Pleck  area of Walsall, WS2. An immaculate spec here which far outstrips, in quality, comparable properties I have seen in the area. I would be prepared to let it out as it is, but unless you really want to change things, I would leave it alone. However as always, I would urge a viewing as soon as possible, because somebody somewhere will be interested. There is no harm in going to have a look. The asking price is about right, but no harm in a little bit of a haggle. There is double glazing, gas central heating and parking is on-road.

I did a double take when I saw this…Yep, I knew I’d seen this somewhere before. I wrote about this one back in July. I’d say a touch of deja vu, but I think I just said that. So, why is this back on the market? To be honest I don’t think it ever went away as the older post is still live. The only difference I can see between July and now is that there is no longer a tenant in situ.

So, Lots more photos now and I have to say it looks really good with some minor upgrades/changes needed, though a viewing would be best advised as it is the only way to see it in all its glory. There is double glazing and gas central heating.

A popular location for rental accommodation and well located for schools, amenities and transport services.
