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!

6.4% return after charges, £72,500

There's not much you can buy in Northampton for £72,500 so this studio flat should tick a few boxes for investors who are tight on budget but want a decent return. It's in Lumbertubs which isn't the most celebrated of postcodes, but is perfectly lettable to a decent tenant - it seems like there's one there already paying £450PCM which is about right.
It will be a Local Authority lease here which means charges are generally reasonable and there looks to be just under 100 years left on this property. The property itself looks like it might benefit from some nominal updating between tenancies but nothing that should break the budget or fundamentally change the figures above.
