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!

SOLD Over 7% for £115,000 - A 2 bed TENANTED apartment

After a quiet few weeks - where there's been literally nothing worth blogging about - we're starting to see a few things come to the market which will be of interest to investors. 

This is one such - a 2 bed apartment at the quality end of the market that's tenanted already at £700 and sold with the tenant in situ. Advertised at £118,000 - we believe £115,000 may clinch the deal.

We've had it rented for a number of years and a number of tenancies. It's never been empty for longer than 7 days. 


Purchase Price
£115,000
Headline Return
7.3%
Rent
£700.00
Return after Service Charges
6.3%

  • Lease 117 years. Charges of £94 per month - so still a 6.3% return after charges. 
  • Note that this is a FURNISHED apartment. About £50 per month of rent relates to the furniture - so you need to maintain the furniture or accept the rent will drop when the furniture goes!
