Another attractively priced traditional terraced house. I would suggest before letting that the décor be upgraded and also changing the flooring to a hard wearing type. The location is ideal being about two miles from M6 junction 9 and in the vicinity of other major transport routes leading to Walsall, Wednesbury and West Bromwich town centres. There is also a wide selection of schools within a mile radius including Palfrey Junior School and Joseph Leckie Academy.
As the post states, ‘Attractively priced for a quick sale’. A lettable spec as it currently stands, but I would suggest making some improvements to the flooring and décor. The location is ideal being about a mile or so from M6 junction 10. There is also a wide selection of schools within half a mile radius including Lodge Farm junior and mixed infant school and Willenhall E-ACT Academy.
A traditional two bedroom terraced house in the centre of Caldmore, a popular area of Walsall. Unfortunately the photos that have been posted on the listing are too small to get a good look at it properly. However, by the look of the refurbished kitchen and what you can see, I would urge a viewing, the spec looks perfect to let as is. The location is ideal for local schools both public and private (Mayfield Prepatory and Queen Mary’s Grammar schools being just half a mile away). Healthcare amenities such as doctors, dentists and chemists are within easy each. Transport services are very good with bus routes and major road networks nearby with Walsall town centre just a mile away.
In recent weeks concerned Walsall landlords have been asking my opinion on the looming EU vote. “As a landlord which way should we vote”? “IN or OUT”? So, this week I thought I would share my thoughts on this subject.
If you read all the tabloids, the ‘Brexit’ debate seems to be focused solely on central London. Many commentators have said Brexit would mean central London would have a lower standing in the world, meaning less people would be employed in central London, with the implication of lower wages, fewer jobs etc… but we are in Walsall, not Marylebone, Mayfair or any part of Zone 1 London!
For years – no, decades – the anti-EU camp has suggested that Britain’s natural habitat is not among its continental neighbours but in ‘the Anglosphere’, that solar system of English-speaking planets which revolves around the United States. Break free from Brussels and we could embrace our kindred spirits in Sydney, Toronto and especially New York, Washington and Los Angeles. The Brexit camp has long been like the man who dreams of leaving his wife for another woman, one who really understands him.
This property has recently been placed on the market in the last couple of days, however most surprising of all is that this particular property was once in my rental portfolio some years ago. Unfortunately, the property listing lacks any internal photos, so I am unable to comment on the current state of the inside of the property. However, the rear garden doesn’t look like it has been upgraded in a while, so maybe the internal decoration may require some work also. But as I always say, That’s what viewings are for. It’s a medium sized 3 bed and suitable for a small family.
Not strictly in Walsall in this one, but it’s only 4 miles away from Walsall Town centre and I wanted to help a friend out, so I’ll let it in. A large two bedroom semi detached house excellently presented and in superb condition. Technically, this is a two bed, but the loft is currently being used as a third bedroom and is large enough for a single bed and some extra storage space. It has a very rustic feel about it with lots of autumnal colours and can be let as it is. It is ideal for the working professionals or a small family. The location is ideal being about two miles from M6 junction 9 and within easy reach of West Bromwich, Wednesbury and Walsall town centres. Less than half a mile away there are a good selection of education centres such as Wodensborough Community Technology College and Moorlands Primary School.

I really like the look of this one, however not all the aspects of the property have been covered in the posted photos. The spec is excellent with a large lounge, modern fitted kitchen and bathroom. I appraise the rental as £595.00 pcm, which is very much in keeping with properties of this type and in this area. If the property sells at the current asking price the yield is in the region of 6.49%.
Interestingly, the asking price has been reduced by 8% already for the four months it has been on the market and I hasten to add, if it sells at the current asking price there is a slight increase in capital growth as well, at around 11%.
When my parents bought their first house in Walsall in the late 1960’s, they were in their early 20’s. Interestingly, looking at some research by the Post Office from a few years ago, in the 1960’s the average age people bought their first house was 23. By the early 1970s, it had reached 27, rising to 28 in the early 1980’s.
This year alone, 3,538 people in Walsall will turn 28 and 3,560 in 2017.. and dare I say 3,740 in 2018 .. year in year out the conveyor belt carries on .. where are the Walsall youngsters going to live?
A two bedroomed terraced house on Rugeley Road, Chase Terrace, WS7. There doesn’t appear to be many improvements to make apart from a few minor decor changes. However, the major focus needs to be the rear garden. It isn’t a large garden so the cost can be kept to a minimum.
A nicely sized property with living and dining area. The kitchen is of modern design and has space for white goods. The two bedrooms are of comparable size and large enough for double beds and plenty of storage. The parking is on-road by the looks of things. The property is finished off with double glazing and gas central heating throughout.
A two bedroomed semi detached house on Hill Street, Cheslyn Hay, WS6. No reason to get the “Blues” over this one. I picked it due to the fact that it was marketed in January and by February the asking price had been reduced by 8%. This signals to me that the owners are eager to sell and that there may be more “Wiggle Room” available. It can be rented as it is, but I would recommend that it is updated at some point, whether this is done in one go or over a period of time.
A decently sized property with lounge and dining area. The kitchen is of moderate size and seems to have all the necessary space for white goods. The two bedrooms are of equal size and large enough for double beds and plenty of storage. The parking is on-road, but there is also a garage. There is double glazing and gas central heating, but it is not clear from the property details whether it is partial or full.
