2 Bedroom flat with 6.5% yield



Kitchen



This recently modernised flat has just come on the sales market. I assume it has been done up by a developer as there is another flat similar, also new to the market, on for £165k. The marketing details don't currently show a floor plan so hard to gauge exactly but it states 2 double bedrooms. So I would assume a rent of £850pcm with no work to do to get it ready for lettings. In fact there is a tenant already in there, so best check the details of the current tenancy. Not sure why the current rent isn't shown???
 However, when properties have been done up, sometimes it can be done on the cheap so make sure you get a trusted plumber and electrician to service the boiler and check the electrics. Electrical Inspections cost as little as £110+VAT and a plumber call out should be circa £65. Bearing in mind what one pays for a survey it is money  very well spent.
Obviously the location isn't perfect as it is a bit further from the centre and there is no mention if it is freehold or leasehold. Grrr!
However, it looks a pretty straight forward no hassle investment.
