Lord Street, Palfrey, Walsall, WS1 is on the market with Homepoint – Walsall (01922 312002) priced at £99,950.  Full particulars are available on the link below:

http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/photos/38039763

It may not be the prettiest type of property or in the most affluent area of Walsall but there are many other pros which attracted me to this property.  The first point is the yield which at 6.3% is a good return in any investor’s book.  Also, the property seems like not much work is required (other than decoration preference).  Being in a community where family accommodation is highly sought after this should rent out all day with very little void periods in between tenancies.

Close to Bescot Retail Park, Bescot Stadium (Sunday Market), Morrisons, J9 of the M6, Palfrey Park and my favourite Kebab Shop!  Just on the market I would have no hesitation in recommending this to investors seeking a good return in perhaps an unlikely investment property.

If you wish to discuss the above or have any other property related matter you’d like to discuss, I’m happy yo hear your thoughts.  Please feel free to contact me or why not send me a link to the property you would like to discuss.

http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/photos/37949696

I have to say that I like the look of this property which is situated ideally near J10 of the M6.  It has plenty of plus points such as a nice fitted kitchen/ diner and a spacious lounge and conservatory downstairs.  A low maintenance rear garden and an upstairs bathroom which you sometimes do not get with these types of houses.  Not to mention the cul-de-sac location.  The only con is that the driveway is shared and I personally don’t like the argy-bargy of sharing.  However, there is plenty of space to make suitable future changes with a garden out front which looks like you would be able to fit several cars after adding a driveway.

2 Bed Maisonette with sitting tenants – potential yield of 6.4%

Thorncroft Way - 2 Bed Kitchen

Thorncroft Way, Yew Tree, Walsall, WS5 is on the market with Shipways (0121 659 1499) at £80,000

http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/photos/36422634

The Yew Tree area of Walsall has been the focal point of regeneration for the past 15-20 years now.  Development is still ongoing with new housing nearby which is a good indicator of potential capital growth.  This property was on the market in March 2015 with an asking price of £100,000 recently reduced to £80,000.  Looking at the pictures I would suggest that very little is required by way of improvement to the property and an astute buyer would look to negotiate further on the price.
