Chelmer Village, Chelmsford buy to let opportunity...

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-50718304.html

I hope everyone has enjoyed the heatwave and haven't melted away! 

Back to it this morning though and I've spotted this property which I thought was worth a mention. It is a 1 bedroom apartment in a popular little spot in Chelmer Village. We have had a few properties in this area for rent and they always go quite quickly, similar properties to this would rent in the region of £600 pcm. 

Haart have listed this property for £140,000, condition wise it looks to be in pretty good nick, so hopefully not too much to have to be done to it to get it ready for letting. Working out our sums on this asking price and rental price of £600 pcm, you could be looking at a potential gross annual yield of 5.1%.

Properties like this are getting snapped up pretty quick, so don't hang around if you think this one appeals to you.

3 bed house in Chelmsford with a 5% yield...



Having a look through the property portals this morning and this 3 bedroom house caught my eye as it is a pretty good size and not in bad condition either, someone has loved it!

I'll be honest, the area is not everyone's cup of tea, although there is a good school nearby, so hopefully that over-weighs that negative. We have rented similar properties to these for around the £1000 pcm mark recently, which when you compare it against the asking price of £240,000, could potentially give you an annul yield of 5%. 

I don't think this house will be around for long though, so if you are interested, get yourself down to The Home Partnership, who are the selling agent.

Upper Bridge Road Vs Springfield Road



I was talking to a couple last week, who are considering becoming landlords for the first time and they were looking for advice as to whether a property on Upper Bridge Road or Springfield Road would make a better Buy to Let investment. They were interested in which would offer a better return/yield, and whilst properties on both streets can let and sell well, I wanted to do a bit more research to help them with their decision.

Over the last year, the average value of a property on Springfield Road has been around £302,843; while on Upper Bridge Road it was less, at around £239,249. To better understand the investment opportunities available, we considered the rents of the same period. The average rent achieved on Upper Bridge Road was in the region of £839 pcm, giving an average yield/return of approx 4.2%. On Springfield Road the average rent was slightly higher, at around £1033 pcm, with a slightly lower yield/return of 4%

However, one must also consider capital growth and how the value could change over time. In 2003, the average price for a property on Upper Bridge Road would have been approximately £156,500 and on Springfield Road the average value was £204,500. This shows that the average property value on Upper Bridge Road has risen by 52% since 2003, and on Springfield Road has risen by 48%.

Ultimately, we found both streets to be equally good investments, but as you can see there is hardly any difference in the yields/returns or the increase in values, which we would not have identified without that extra investigation. In this case, it depends on the best available property to buy on the day.

If you are a landlord, new or old, feel free to visit our office on Duke Street to ask our opinion on which property investment is best for you.

Old Moulsham, Chelmsford apartment, great for Buy to Let...



This modern 2 bed apartment is in a really great location at the bottom of Moulsham Street, great for shopping and dining. 

As this property is still fairly new, it is still in pretty good nick, modern kitchen and bathroom, so hopefully the preparation of it should be fairly minimal to get it 'Letting Ready'. You might be able to get away with just a pro clean and bobs your uncle. Another bonus with this property is that it does have parking, which is ideal.

William H Brown, have just put this on the market for £190,000, which it will probably achieve, due to the demand being crazy in Chelmsford at the moment! I would say that an achievable rent for this property would be in the region of £850 pcm, which would generate you a gross annual yield of 5.3%

We spend a lot of time looking at the local market trying to ascertain where the next property hot spot is going to be. sign up to this blog as we post out articles every week.
