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!

PREMIUM POSTCODE, 1 bed apartment, excellent rental history



A slightly unusual one here which will appeal to people who only buy at the very top end in terms of area – and who are interested in the potential for appreciation more than monthly return. This is a 1 bed apartment in a gated development on The Avenue, Dallington – generally considered to be one of the most upmarket roads in the town. It’s in a building that contains 10 apartments set around a garden area and is maintained to a high standard. Most residents are owners although it’s not a retirement development, that’s the age range it attracts. The building has a secure car park for residents use. The flat is first floor with its own private entrance.
We’ve had the property rented for 7 years at around the £600 per month mark – it’s got some basic furnishings in it such as bed and sofa – and has tended to attract contractors who are in the area for work and want to live somewhere a little more select than usual. Void periods over 7 years are negligible.
Key figures are:
Asking Price
£129,995
Lease Length
110 years
Annual Charges
£1200 per annum
Rental Potential (furnished)
£625.00

Works required are negligible – I’d stick a new front door on it, but that’s just me!
If you’re interested, please pop me an email. The property is empty and available to view without delay. richard.baker@belvoir.co.uk
