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, 2 bed apartment, £127,500 FIXED PRICE

An opportunity here that's open to those who use Belvoir's managed service only (with the vendor's approval).

This is a tenanted 2 bed apartment in Far Cotton, being sold with tenant in situ. Key figures are:

  • £127,500 fixed price
  • 115 years on the lease
  • Total annual service charges and ground rent are £920.
  • Tenant paying £640PCM. 
  • Return of 6% before, and 5.3% after charges
This is a block that rents really well and has done for the 10 years we've had it under management. Void periods are almost zero. The asking price of £127,500 is fixed, but reasonable. Have a look at what other 2 bed apartments you can buy for less than £130k and you'll find it's mainly ex-local authority stock, blocks in the town centre with 'problems' or blocks where the service charge is high. 
This flat suffers from none of those drawbacks - it's a modern, well presented unit with a decent lease length and a moderate service charge - if modern flats is what you're after I don't think you'll find one that's better value - by all means check Zoopla and tell me what you find!

This isn't formally advertised and in the short term isn't going to be. Enquiries to me direct - richard.baker@belvoir.co.uk
