A two bed semi detached house on Kenilworth Crescent, WS2. If you are a Walsall landlord you may or may not know that right now properties like this are selling like hot cakes in the BTL market. So, if you are in a position that you have 130k cash to invest in a property like this, I would seriously recommend that you take a look at this bad boy asap. How do i know this? I am currently sourcing properties for my local clients at this moment in time and I have my eye on thhis one. If you don’t snap it up, someone will, very quickly.  This is a perfect property for a long-term BTL.  Listed 3 days ago this two bedroom semi detached house is being marketed at £130k by Bairstow eves (01922 312791).  Unfortunately, there are photos missing of the kitchen and bathroom, but as I always say, that is what viewings are for. The decor looks pretty much half decent and the garden looks like it needs some minor outlay and tlc to bring it up to spec, but other than that it is pretty much good to go.

My Walsall BTL Deal of the Week, 2 Bed Semi in WS2 With Yields Of 6.0%

Walsall Buy to Let Deal

It may be a case of de-ja-vu but I’m pretty certain I went to see this property last year when it was on the market with another agent.  At the time I was sourcing a BTL property for one of my property sourcing clients and knew, with a bit of TLC, this property would make a great rental.  It was snapped up very quickly back then but it seems, for some reason, the sale probably fell through which, can sometimes happen if the buyer is not able to secure a mortgage or arrange the funds etc.  For Walsall landlords this is a perfect property for a long-term BTL.  Listed 3 days ago this two bedroom semi detached house is being marketed at offers over £130k by our colleagues iLove Homes (01922 345905).  Another perfect spec ready for a quick let.  From the pictures and if my memory serves me correct, I would say the property has had an upgrade of the kitchen units and bathroom suite.  The decor looks in good order but I would definitely change the carpet in the lounge and one of the bedroom upstairs to something more hard wearing and neutral.

Walsall’s ‘Lockdown’ Landlord

Walsall’s ‘Lockdown’ Landlord

“So where is the Walsall property market heading?”. “How will a recession affect the market?”. Just a couple of common questions I’ve been fielding recently. As usual, for the benefit of my Blog reading friends, here are my thoughts…

There are plenty of investors who think nothing of legally committing to buying a property ‘off plan’ before it’s built – yet over the last few weeks, it has become the norm in the resale (second-hand) Walsall property market and they have now stolen a march and bagged some property bargains.

Normally, the physical viewing is the first step of the resale house buying process … yet now it’s becoming the ‘new normal’ that some Walsall agents are carrying out semi-professional video viewings or video tours. Even homeowners are getting in on the act and managing a Facetime or Zoom video viewing by walking around their house with their mobile phone.

On the 13th May 2020 the Government announced that the Estate & Letting Agency industry could reopen meaning people could view houses, visit agents and move home be they tenants, buyers, landlords or home sellers. This is all subject to general and specific social distancing rules, specific hygiene regulations and suitable PPE being used.

So what has been happening in the last few weeks in the Walsall property market?

My BTL Deal of the Week 2 Bed Semi Northumberland Way Walsall WS2 With Yields Of 5.57%.

I’m returning to another very popular estate for rental property for Walsall landlords. Listed 3 days ago this two bedroom semi detached house is being marketed at offers for £140k by Connells (01922 716026). Another perfect spec ready for a quick let. I would say the asking price is slightly over the ‘going rate’ for similar property types and specs on the estate.

There are two double bedrooms, as well as a family bathroom.  A modern kitchen with integrated white goods, a small low maintenance rear garden and off-road parking. It would be better appreciated by a viewing. The location is within easy reach of all the major road networks, services and other amenities lending easy access to Walsall town centre.

My BTL Deal of the Week 2 Bed Terraced House, Penmire Grove, Walsall, WS4. With Yields Of 4.93%.

A 2 bedroom terraced house on Penmire Grove a new build housing estate about half a mile south of Rushall, Walsall, WS4. The property is being marketed by I Love Homes (01922 345905).

The spec looks perfectly on the money. Marketed at offers of over £140k, however it is I think that the price is a bit too optimistic as the last sale price was £131k 7 years ago.

The estate has an exclusive feel about it as it is somewhat off the beaten track. There is double glazing and gas central heating and off-road parking and is within easy reach of the major transport networks making quick commuting to other town centrs close by.
