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!

£150,000 - FREEHOLD - 6% return

6% used to be the net return figure that everyone tried to avoid going below, but these days not much offers a return of this level so a freehold, ALREADY TENANTED at this level is a good buy in relation what else is available in the same price range.

This is a 4 bed ex Local Authority house in Thorplands - tenanted already at £750PCM. It's in good internal order (or was when the tenant went in!) so is not one you'd be expecting to spend a fortune on in the near future.
If you look at comparables in the area you'll see that some 2 beds and quite a few three beds are priced at the same level or in excess of this - so it's actually quite good value at the price the vendor is asking. It's one that sold, but it doesn't look like the purchaser can raise a mortgage - we're seeing quite a bit of this currently and I'll be blogging on it later this week.

All enquiries to richard.baker@belvoir.co.uk as ever.
