Deal of the Day - 2 bed detached bungalow Brooklands Avenue, Shifnal - Great location

I'm sure the amount of calls I receive from tenants, looking for a bungalow is growing!
 
So when I seen this property on with Fields of Shifnal for £135k I wanted to share this with you.
 
Looks like this property has potential and should rent for around £635 pcm and if purchased at the asking price would provide a gross yield of 5.6% and should rent well - Shifnal is very desirable with excellent travel links across Shropshire and the West Midlands, the town is full of desirable shops, schools and restaurants and has a nice market town feel to it.
 
This property is cash purchases only, however it looks like this property sold for £135k in 2008, so maybe a deal to be done as this will offer good long term capital appreciation.

Telford …Good time to buy property?

Had an interesting chat with a landlord who lives in Newport, he called into the office whilst his partner was at the new Southwater development. He is thinking of buying his first buy to let property and he wanted my opinion on the state of the market and if it was a good time to invest.

He was particularly worried that there wouldn’t be any demand from tenants. One of the best pieces of advice I can give to those looking to invest in property is a simple trick of the trade. You can judge the affordability of an area’s property market (and thus how much demand there could be) by simply finding the ratio of the average property price to the average salary. The lower the ratio, the more affordable property is.

When we put this to the test, we found that Telford currently has an average property value of around £158,600. The average salary of someone living in Telford is £22,361. This is a ratio of 7.1 to 1. Most lenders will only lend up to 4.5 times income, so to buy an average house in Telford, a first time buyer would need to be on a salary in the early £35,000+  and even then, would need to raise at least a 5% deposit, which when you take into account buying fees, will be in the order of £10,500.

Tenants’ inability to raise that sort of money for the deposit is driving demand for rental property. If you would like some advice about buying to let, be you a landlord with a portfolio or someone thinking of investing in the rental market for the first time, please give us a call or pop in and see me at our office at Grays, Forgegate in Telford.

Deal of the day - 2 Bed Flat, Briarwood, Brookside,Telford - In demand with good return

Just thought I would share this with all you property investors - a nice two bed flat in the "rentable" area Brookside. 
 
Two 2 beds are keenly in demand. On initial inspection  this looks a spacious first floor apartment, that looks ready to rent aside from some minor adjustments.
 
Situated in an established residential area conveniently located for local shops and bus routes, and easy access to Telford town centre & Southwater.
 
On for £62k you should be able to achieve £490 pcm which works out at just over 9% gross yield. As this is flat there a good chance that this will be lease hold, you would need to check with the agent
