Those of you that know me, you know how I like my stats!!  So as I was trawling through the WS9 postcode stats I noticed how prices for 3 bed semi’s in this postcode area had increased over the past 12 months by a healthy 7.04%.  This grabbed my attention as it is one of the postcodes which has helped to maintain the average price increase for properties in Walsall to a decent level against the overall figure.

Looking at some of the properties for sale in this area I came across this one which I thought would be a good potential buy to let for initially, a decent rental yield however, most importantly I feel with a little investment this could provide great capital growth for the future.

Is there any such thing as too good that we can’t help but oblige ourselves?  I remember purchasing a buy to let a few years ago when I had no intention to do so.  At the time I wasn’t in the market for a property to rent but looking for our family home.  A local agent asked me to take a look at something as I would be in the area looking at something else so I went along, reluctantly I hasten to add.  This visit resulted in a property I purchased where even today I am achieving a yield of 11.88%!!

For the price you would probably struggle to get a garage in London so it’s no wonder this caught my eye when I saw it listed.  A great bargain for any investor especially one who is seeking to get onto the buy to let ladder.  A 25% deposit will be in the region of £17,500 (if you paid the asking price), but if you know me, I always negotiate like the BBC’s Apprentices – even in a pound shop!

Now first a disclaimer.  I’m not writing about the Delves area of Walsall on purpose – honest!!  It’s just that properties are turning up in this area for sale at reasonable prices.  Coupled with other factors and indicators around capital growth and current yields it just makes sense to me.

Could a buy-to-let property in Walsall save you from pension oblivion?

Ramblers

I met up with a friend this week who is also a landlord.  He is from the south west part of the country and also uses the services of a professional managing agent to manage his portfolio.  As we were talking, over some light lunch, the subject had to come up and so we obliged.  My friend told me how he was going to rely on his property portfolio to save himself from pension oblivion.  This of course got me thinking so I thought I’d share those thoughts with you below.

This property which has just come on the market as of yesterday (23/10/15), made me think…hmm…maybe one as a HMO (House in Multiple Occupation)?  Looking at the yields by making some minor changes (i.e. fire doors, alarms, locks and possibly some furniture) we are looking at minimum yields of 10.6%.  Personally, I would make some further changes looking to achieve an even healthier yield of around 14.1% and upwards with minimal outlay for maximum returns.  But is all as rosy as it looks….???

I like bungalows, I just like them.  Probably down to many factors more to do with the heart than the head but perhaps it’s to do with the space, no stairs, grandma’s cookies, grandpa’s jokes and that holiday feeling etc..etc….

Anyway, before I drift off I would like to share with you the reason why I think this particular bungalow caught my eye today and why I think this makes a great buy to let investment.

My readers/ clients & followers all know that I’m not keen on flats/ apartments (I say this and you say that…) for various reasons I have shared in past articles.  However, I am noticing some great deals and can’t help but share these with you.  As I searched for some buy to let deals today I was wondering what I would come across.  The above apartment caught my eye as it has just come on the market and the potential yields achievable is very impressive to say the least.
