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!

NOW SOLD Total Refit Required - £78k cash purchase

For someone who doesn't mind work, this property presents an opportunity to secure a Victorian terrace for below the market rate. Buy this property 'done' and it would cost you about £110k. Buy it in the run down state it is, and do it up, and you should come in at much less than £110k. As such there's a deal there for someone who 1) has cash and 2) isn't scared of a bit of work.
This is a 3 bed Victorian terrace with downstairs bathroom in the Mounts. A staple rental property, it will achieve £575 when done, as it will be in immaculate order. It does however need pretty much everything doing including re-plaster, windows, kitchen, bathroom, re-wire, central heating etc. Expect to spend £20k unless you're 'in the trade' and able to get this discounted. It's perfectly achievable - our maintenance team will give a fixed quote if required - as such you can subcontract the work if you prefer.

We suspect this house isn't mortgageable as it doesn't currently have a kitchen!

Interested parties please get in touch - we understand the property can be purchased for around the £78k mark. As such it will work well to keep as a rental property, but not quite well enough to buy, repair, and sell.
