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!

MIXED USE, £170,000, 8.5%+ return


We're about to be instructed on this mixed use building in St Leonard's Road, Far Cotton comprising:

  • downstairs lock up shop, currently trading as a cafe but will be vacant on purchase. Should bring in minimum £6,000 per annum. No shop on this road is currently empty.
  • upstairs 1 bed flat, currently bringing in £7000 including bills.
  • potential to increase both incomes with relatively nominal works to the premises.
We're expecting this to come to the market at £170,000 but the vendor is keen to sell so some movement may be possible, meaning a return of minimum 8.5% for the purchaser - at that level there's clearly going to be interest from investors so please get in touch with me quickly at:
