This good sized three bedroom house in Fishbourne, one of my favoured areas for plucking out local buy-to-let bargains, is available to buy with Stride & Son.

It will take a few coats of paint to cover up the bold colours on the wall, but once that's done you'll have a freehold house with three double bedrooms, a modern kitchen and decent bathroom in a popular location. It has a South-facing garden, two allocated parking spaces, gas central heating and double glazing. All the hallmarks for a reasonably low-maintenance family let.

Along with a solid 4.8% yield (based on achieving £975pcm and paying the full asking price of £245,000) you'll also get a property that has proven itself in the capital growth stakes. It has risen 44% since selling in February 2009 for £170,000. This house shows property's not always a one-way street though, as it had sold just six months earlier in August 2008 for £190,000, meaning that owner was £20,000 out of pocket (plus stamp duty and buying & selling costs).

As it's all been about stamp duty this week; let's consider that you'll pay £2,400 stamp duty if you buy it before April 1st. Buying it after April 1st will mean the cost rockets to £9,750 - that's an additional £7,350 to pay! Perhaps it's proof that many buy-to-letters will get in quick before the rise in stamp duty, although they still need to be careful they're buying the right property and the right price.
