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 : £100k for a 3 bed freehold - a bit of summertime VALUE


In a market where estate agents are STILL overvaluing to win instructions, there’s some very good value here if you’re investing and looking for a freehold property.

This is a 3 bed house for under £100k. Not in the best area of town, but in an area that’s very lettable. It’s going to need some improvement at that price, but this is at least a £125k house once done and it’s habitable already so there’s no way £25k needs to be spent. Unless there’s a structural issue – which there shouldn’t be in a property of that age – this is very keenly priced and will sell immediately.

Rental wise, £650 is a safe figure for this once it’s been brought up to date. So let’s say the final spend is around the £110k mark, that’s a return of 7% - a bargain in the current market.
