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 CHEAP FREEHOLD £115k

Having written last week that you can't buy a freehold for £115k, I'm pleased to advise the market has listened and we have here a freehold for £115k!

This will have investors all over it, so don't delay if you're interested - you have little to lose by buying it blind. There are very few freeholds that trade at anywhere near this price which is why it will be gone in 5 minutes.

It's a 1 bed cluster in Linacre Close - tiny but very rentable and the type of thing that has appeared on this blog umpteen times over the years - for a cheap rental you can't really go wrong. A really nice one of these would be worth about £122,500 at the moment - this one is clearly dated so £115,000 is reasonable and if you can shave anything off that price (which I doubt) then good for you. It will rent for between £500 and £550 depending on how good a finish you get.
