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!

£80,000 flat with high return, CASH PURCHASE ONLY

I've highlighted flats in Northampton House previously on this blog, as these are always attractive to investors when priced sensibly, and another appeared on Rightmove yesterday which meets this criteria.

This is a 2 bedroom apartment with large balcony in Northampton House - very central location.

Here it is in all it's glory! http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-61104880.html

It will rent without issue for £650PCM, and looks to be in good order. It will need to be a CASH PURCHASE as getting a mortgage in this building is tricky, and the service charge will be high too. Irrespective if you buy it with the intention of retaining it for a while it's difficult to see how you can go wrong - even with the high service charge you'll get a high return on investment here.

Pros.
Cons
Great Central Location
Cash Purchase Only
Further Regeneration Planned Locally
High Service Charge
Cheap

VERY rentable – strong tenant demand

High yield – over 7% after charges
