There haven’t been many good BTL deals this week, but this one popped up on my radar today. A two bed semi detached house in the Coalpool area of Walsall, WS2 a popular area for Walsall renters and Walsall landlords alike.
Set on a popular newbuild estate, the spec is perfect for a buy to let deal. The property is a corner plot and has a large rear garden with plenty of room for development. The internal spec is exactly what one would expect from a property of this type. Two double bedrooms, the master with en-suite, modern fully fitted kitchen with oven/ hob and integrated fridge/ freezer, modern family bathroom. Other notable features include a guest wc, gas central heating, double glazing and off-road parking to the front of the property.
A two bedroom terraced house on the popular newbuild estate in Walsall, WS2. The property has a very nice spec and good to go.
There are two double bedrooms, one with en-suite as well as a family bathroom. A modern kitchen with integrated white goods, a fair sized 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.
A 3 bedroom terraced house on Lower Forster street, Walsall, WS1. The property is being marketed by Acorns & Co (01922 312060) at an asking price of £125k.
Carrying on from my last BTL deal of the day and keeping it to the same estate. This is a two bedroom semi detached house in the Beechdale/ Reedswood area of Walsall, WS2. An excellent spec and very well kept propertyy. Again, this is not a typical neutral décor, but is in keeping with the rest of the property. I would recommend booking a viewing sooner rather than later.
Rather than duplicate the same information again, I will just give some basic info as the properties presented are pretty much the same. Where there are more obvious differences I will highlight these.
Walsall Rent Inreases Outstrips Inflation Since 2005
Millennials were born between the mid 1980’s and late 1990’s making them between the age of around 22 to late 30’s. They are the imaginative, artistic youngsters who grew up with the newest tech and computers and who are huge enthusiasts of music festivals, gourmet pizzas, emoji’s, selfies and old school nostalgia AKA…generation rent.
Countless Millennials have discovered that renting is a good choice for their shelter and accommodation needs without the hassle that comes from buying a home. Nonetheless, that is not the only reason they don’t buy property. When they should be concentrating on their profession, putting down roots and starting a family, Millennials are still going through the pressures and constraints on their finances of student loan liabilities whilst, at the same time, finding it hard-hitting to pay rent.
The hot topic at the moment is the cost of renting, as both our main political parties have seen mileage in wooing these Millennial Generation Renters. The average rent in Walsall is currently £618 per month making this a big-ticket item on the monthly budget. I was inquisitive to find out exactly how much Walsall Millennials will spend on rent by the time they reach their mid 30’s. The average age people leave home in the UK is 22; so looking at a Walsall 22-year-old (or Millennial) who left home in 2005 then between 2005 and today that Walsall Millennial will have shelled out £90,348 in rent.
So far 2018 has been hectic or what…??!! Time seems to be running through my hands like water. As a landlord and a property manager my daily workload is varied and that’s what I like about my life (afterall, as the saying goes – ‘variety is the spice of life’). The planned stuff mixed in with the unplanned keeps a working day interesting. However, if you are prone to anxiety attacks and don’t like uncertainty of a day in the life of a property manager, then perhaps you would be best advised to seek out the assistance of an expert…
So, the short answer to the question posed by a friend of mine (who is also a self-managing Walsall landlord) is that landlords don’t need to use the services of a Walsall letting agent. Many Walsall landlords decide to be hands-on and undertake the whole lettings process themselves.
I started investing in Walsall buy-to-let property nineteen years ago in 1999 and I was keen to learn and control the whole process myself. I was wary of entrusting others with what was ultimately my financial future and my thoughts were that no agent could possibly care about my Walsall property as much as me.
It is certainly a family home with spacious gardens and being fairly low maintenance. Parking is off-road. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and there is a separate dining room.
