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!

EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT - £90,000

There's not been much around recently that has stood out as worth sharing, but this one certainly falls into that category - I'd almost go as far as calling it a no-brainer. 
It's a 2 bed ex Local Authority flat in Thorplands. We rent several of these and you'll have seen numerous on this blog over the years - currently in decent condition £625-£650 is the going rate for quickly securing a decent working tenant. 
This one is advertised at £90k. It's clearly dated but even once you've finished the works you're going to end up with a return of over 7% before charges. And speaking of charges these are usually reasonable as the freeholder is the Local Authority. It seems that this flat even comes with it's own private garden which is a further advantage. We've seen nice examples of these selling for over £110,000 in recent months so there's definitely some money in this for someone.
