Morning landlords

 

Now, I own and manage a lot of properties in the Hollinswood area which is always popular due its proximity to Telford Town Centre, Train & Bus stations and Stafford Park. There's not that many 4 beds that come up for let in Hollinswood and yet I get asked once or twice a week for 4 beds in Hollinswood.

On with DB Roberts for £132,950 the monthly rent that could be achieved should be around £725.00 per month which if purchased at list price would offer a gross return of 6.5% more if the price was negotiated

Deal of the Day - 1 Bed Apartment, Downton Court, Hollinswood, Telford - 9% Gross Yield Close to Telford Town Centre!

Morning landlords...

I have many clients who like Hollinswood for its location, it’s a stable area for letting flats and houses, and is popular with landlords.

Because of its popular location this Hollinswood apartment will let very well, and shouldn't take long to let. With easy links Telford Town Centre, Southwater, Telford Central railway station, the M54 motorway and the A442 road links, this will suit either a first time landlord or someone looking to build on their portfolio.

On at a guide price of £40K with BJB, this apartment can achieve a least £450 pcm, and if purchased and refurbished at say £55k (and that’s based on speaking to other landlords and investors) would give a yield just over 9.8%

This is a leasehold property with 99yr so it’s worth checking with your solicitor how much it would cost to extend this lease as this will have a bearing on resale value. out how long is left on the lease.

Deal of the Day - 3 bedroom Semi, Upper Road Madeley Telford - Potential to Add Value

Morning landlords

Located in a cul-de-sac position in the heart of Madeley with access to local amenities and good schools including the Madeley academy this property offers solid BTL benefits, such as location, parking and a downstairs loo!

Looking at the floor plan I believe there's scope for making the dining room and kitchen as one large contempory space. With regards to rent I think £625 should easily be achieved and if purchased at the list price from DB Roberts for £123,950 it could offer a gross yield of 6% maybe more if negotiated. Looking at the list price I think that the cost is probably a little high based on some of the most recent comparables I have.

Friday's Deal of the Day - 3 bedroom Semi - Preston Grove Trench Telford, - Rooms at £400 per month?

Good morning Telford Landlords and Investors

 

 

I've been driving past this house since it went on the market back in Aug with DB Roberts. I manage a couple of houses along this street where we let out rooms within a property. 

                                    

Located close to both Stafford Park and Hortonwood this is an ideal location for employees at such companies such as Denso & Stadco.

 

Within walking distance to local amenities and main transport links across the county Trench is a good location for both families or individuals.

On a family dwelling a monthly rental of £595 can be achieved offering at gross yield of 5.3% if purchased at list price, however looking at my comparables for house sales in this area I think there's some further negotiation to be done!

 

Now if you decide to rent rooms on an individual basis the rent could range from £350-400 per month per room, however there's an expectation that utilities within the rent. That said rent could be £1,150 per month giving a gross yield of 10.3% - again there could be more to be achieved if purchased at a cheaper price and if you added an extra bedroom.

 

There also some additional work to be done if wish to rent rooms. To be compliant with the law you will need fire doors, and there's a checklist of jobs that will need to be completed before renting out. If you've never rented rooms out within a house please give call on 01952 306 444 as I'll be more than happy to talk you thorough the process.   



Deal of the Day - 3 bed Semi-Detached, Sixth Avenue, Ketley Bank, Telford - £575 pcm and a Good Supply of Tenants!

Good morning readers...

 

When I seen this property come up for rent I was very excited. With my landlords hat the one thing I always look out for is the supply of good tenants in an area. Having let many houses around this area I know that there is good supply of quality tenants as Ketley Bank is located close to Telford Town Centre and Stafford Park where many of Telford's major employers are based.

 

The property has downstairs toilet and parking which tenants are keen to see in a property -see more at goo.gl/N6rXEG

 

Looking at the data, the property was last sold in 2007 for £94,500, and viewing the pictures there looks like some light refurbishment but nothing too major, so I think its probably not too far off the mark, but cash buyers may have a little more leverage.

 

 

A rental value £575.00 per month should be achievable, so if the property was bought at the asking price the gross yield would be 7.2%

 

As always please give me a call on 01952 306 444 or email at martin@letwithsignature.co.uk I you would any support regarding investing in Telford and the surrounding area.

Deal of the Day - King Street, Wellington, Telford - Good Location & Potential to Add Value

Good morning landlords and investors...

Many of you may have seen this property which is located within waling distance to Wellington Town centre.

Up with DB Roberts with an auction guide price of £95k this property needs some internal and external refurbishment. Now, this property is been sold by the "Modern Method of Auction" which I would recommend speaking with the agent to clarify...

There's a potential of achieving £600 pcm so depending on the purchase price and refurbishment costs gross yields could achieve anything from 6-8%.

I think what's more interesting is the long term capital growth of this property and the good supply of tenants who will be searching for good quality accommodation close to the town centre especially with young professional sector.

Friday's Deal of the Day - 2 Bed of Terrace, Hadley, Telford - Potential Redevelopment - Gross Yield from 8 -14%!

 

Good Morning Landlords...

 

 

On with Butters John Bee for a guide price of £65k this property will be sold at auction on Mon 19th Oct 2015. Check the catalogue for viewing details and more information if you haven't purchased at auction before goo.gl/TWTKyd

Looking at the configuration of this property it looks like there is the potential to improve the back of the downstairs and merge the kitchen and the dining room to create one open space. There's increase demand from tenants for open living space, and tenants perceive added value if you have a downstairs toilet and utility room.

Rental for a family dwelling should be around £575 pcm. So, and this is a bit on an assumption, if you purchased the property for £80k and the refurbishments costs were 15k the gross return could be around 8%. My experience tells me that properties which are refurbished to a high standard attract good tenants, which makes life so much easier!

However, there's demand in the Hadley / Trench area of Telford for room only options. Conversion of this property to create 4 rooms can be done but the refurbishment costs will also be higher. There are more pitfalls to be aware of, but the returns increase with rooms renting from £350-400 per room per month or £1400 - £1,600 pcm for full occupancy per month.

As always there are advantages and disadvantages to the above options, but if you would like any help or support with your next investment please drop me a line on 01952 306 444

Deal of the Day - 3 Bed Terrace, Burford, Brookside, Telford - Tenanted with 7.8% yield.

Good morning landlords, Nick Tart have just marketed this property in Brookside which is currently tenanted for £82,500.

Now, we don't normally have too many properties that are sold with tenants in situ, but I thought this might be worth investigating further, as there are some advantages and disadvantages of purchasing with tenants already in place.

There aren't any internal pictures and the agent is saying that the property would benefit from some improvements, based on this I would be wanting to know if the tenant has asked for any repairs to be carried out, and if so have they been done and when? Also, have the tenants paid a deposit and if so which scheme was it deposited into and what date was lodged. Other questions to ask would be - are there any rent arrears, what type of tenancy agreement is in place to name just a few.

The advantages are that you have a tenant paying (hopefully) the rent so there should be a void causing you to pay council tax and mortgage payments.

As always, if you would like to know more about buying investment properties in the Telford area please give me a call on 01952 306 444 or drop my an email on martin@letwithsignature.co.uk

Malinslee is a popular area for tenants as its very close to Telford Town Centre and some of the big employers in Telford, this in turn makes its popular for landlords.

Looking at this property I believe it could return a higher rental figure. Looking at my comparable rent archive there could be the potential to achieve £560-575 pcm which would give a return of 7%. Also, looking at the floor plan configuration there could be potential for changing the rooms to get better sizes.

Deal of Day - 3 Bed Terraced, Woodside, Telford - Good Value for Money & Return!

 

I was doing a viewing in Woodrows the next street down yesterday and decided to take a look at this property I seen on Rightmove with Nick Tart reduced to £75k.

From the outside everything looked in order and a quick look through the windows suggested the inside looked ok, however some light refurbishment maybe required.

Take a further look at goo.gl/yTF1vT

I have many landlords with property in this area, as 3 bed properties like this will tend to rent out for around £550.00 - £575.00 pcm however you will probably attract tenants who receive housing benefit, so careful management could be required. That said, if the property was purchased at the asking price of £75k the gross return would be 8.8% maybe more if its has been on the market for a few months...

Deal of the Day - 2 bedroom bungalow, Church Close, Madeley, Telford - Vary your portfolio!

The number of calls I get for tenants looking for bungalows is increasing. At the Telford Property Blog we have looked at bungalows, however, not all that often as finding the right property in the right location doesn't happen all that often.

 

Located in cul-de-sac in Madeley close to local amenities, this property should appeal to the more renter, and offers good space. Bungalows don't appeal to everyone however all the bungalows I have rented over the years have attracted long term tenants, with low void periods.

 

This bungalow has bee on the market since the beginning of Feb with Nick Tart for £119.000 and could easily rent for £525 pcm giving a gross return of 5.3% - maybe more if well negotiated!
