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 Genuine Freehold Property at a Discount!




This three bed property is advertised at £99,995. The highest bid is £92,500 at the moment and I suspect it will end up selling for a figure somewhere between the two. This one does need money spending on it - you'd have two options: 

  1. Spend £2 - 3,000 and rent it for £595pcm to housing benefit tenants - enjoy a yield of 7.2%.
  2. Spend £10,000 and rent it for £625pcm to private tenants - enjoy a yield of around the 7% mark.  
If you did the latter, you would have a property that was easily worth £115k, and very probably £120k in the current market. As such, this is a genuine opportunity to aquire a freehold property at a discount.
