3 Bedroom Terraced House, Glastonbury Crescent, Walsall, WS3. With Yields Of 6.60%.

01 02 03 04

A three bedroom terraced house on Glastonbury Crescent, Walsall, WS3. Billed as an investment property. It has a pretty much standard spec, so to get top dollar I would advise upgrading the decor/ flooring/ bathroom etc. I would advise a viewing as soon as possible to check out the property internally, after all, that’s what viewings are for, right? There are many schools locally and many are within a mile distance. Healthcare amenities eg doctors, dentists etc are also nearby. Transport services are very good with bus routes and major road networks adjacent lending easy access to Walsall, Bloxwich, Pelsall and Brownhills town centres. There is double glazing and gas central heating.

Walsall Tenants are Setting Their Own Rents!!

Last week I went to meet a landlord who found me through my blog.  The property was a traditional end of terrace in north Walsall between Leamore and Coalpool.  The landlord had the property with an agent from out of the area and wanted my opinion.  Or at least that’s what I thought…

Quite often, when talking about the rental market, we talk about property, condition, area, location, amenities/ facilities etc. and seem to forget one of the most important parties to the equation… tenants.

Without tenants, there is no demand for the rental property. The profile of the Walsall tenant has changed and continues to change.  Although this is in part due to the credit crunch, job mobility and the raising of deposits, an increased number of people in their twenties are choosing to rent rather than buy and have done so, even when they were in a position when they could have bought a property.

One Bedroom Terraced House, Camomile Close, Walsall, WS5 With Yields Of 6.25%.

01 02 03 04

A one bedroom terraced house on the prestigious and popular Tamebridge estate in Walsall. The area is very high profile area for renting and rental prices tend to attract a premium on the estate. I like the “Compact and bijou” style of the property and the spec is nicely presented. Even though the property has double glazing, the heating type is not mentioned and although there is a gas fire in the lounge, the heating is probably electric considering the panel heaters on show. Parking is stated as off-road. 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 and West Bromwich town centres.

EU Referendum – 67.9% of Walsall Voters Vote With Their Feet…

EU Referendum - 67.9% of Walsall Voters Vote With Their Feet...
EU Referendum – 67.9% of Walsall Voters Vote With Their Feet…

As most of the polls suggested a Remain Vote, it came as a surprise to most people, including the City. The Sterling has dropped 6% this morning (at time of typing article), after the City Whiz kids got their predictions wrong and MP’s from the Remain camp are using words like “challenging times ahead”.

.. and now the vote has been made .. what next for the 67,280 Walsall homeowners especially the 33,748 of those Walsall homeowners with a mortgage?

The Chancellor in the campaign suggested property prices would drop by 18%. Using Treasury estimates, their method of calculating this was tenuous at best, but focused around the abrupt and hasty increase in UK interest rates, which in turn would raise the cost of mortgages, and therefore lower demand for property, causing a drop in property prices.… and I would agree and say, yes .. that will probably happen.

A 3 bedroom terraced house on Villiers street, Walsall, WS1. The property is being marketed by Homepoint (01922 321 043). Unfortunately, the listing lacks photos of the kitchen, bathroom, one of the bedrooms and the rear garden. Of what I can, see the decor needs changing desperately, but I have no idea what state the kitchen or bathroom are in. But as I always say, “That’s what viewings are for”. Marketed at offers of £95000.
