This blog follows the property market in Northampton with a particular emphasis on buy-to-let. On here you'll find general commentary about the market, plus properties that may represent decent buys. I own a large estate agency in Northampton and am myself a landlord with an established portfolio. If you're looking to invest, but are unsure what will work best, I'm happy to offer a (free) second opinion. If you have a property to sell I can help with that too!

INVESTMENT PROPERTY WITH RENTAL YIELD OF 7.5%



  • 2 Bed Freehold House, Semilong
  • Freehold
  • Reposession - needs someone that can proceed quickly.
  • Will rent for £495PCM on a bad day - this will be a private tenant. £525PCM to a Local Authority Tenant.
  • Purchase price of £80,000 - it may be possible to achieve a small discount on this.
  • Is not in perfect condition, but is rentable, and will be for a number of years. Longer term it will need some investment, as would any other property of this age.
  • A full structural survey is recommended on this property. Whilst there are no visible signs of movement, we would always recommend on a property of this age.
