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!

ALL SOLD - 3 working hours! : 9%+ RETURN FOR £55k. CASH ONLY.

If you're investing for INCOME this is an ideal opportunity, as it offers an inital return of over 9% AFTER service charges. AND the purchase price is £55,000. MUST BE CASH.

It's an apartment in Northampton House, right in the middle of town (there are actually 4 available in total) which come already furnished and tenanted to decent PRIVATE tenants. There's a big balcony, allocated parking for 1, and a lease of 110 years.

PROs.

  • Central Location
  • Already Tenanted at £550PCM
  • Very rentable to private (decent quality) tenants
  • Void periods over 5 years almost nothing.
  • Great return on investment
  • 110 year lease.
  • They've just blown up the bus station, so you don't need to look at it any more!
CONs.
  • High-ish service charge (but still over 9% after this is factored in)
  • Not mortgageable - needs to be a cash purchase.
