BUY-TO-LET DEAL OF THE WEEK: Studio apartment in Chichester, £125,000, 5.8% yield
Summary: Studio apartment in Chichester Listed for sale on 05/11/15 @ £140,000 Now = £125,000 Rent = £600pcm Yield = 5.8%
This brand new (converted) studio apartment is right in the heart of Chichester's city centre. It's actually been marketed for around 18 months but now the property has been built (around 6 months ago I believe) it seems the vendor is now keen to sell, having just knocked 10% off the asking price.
That drop from £140,000 to £125,000 makes this the cheapest property for sale in Chichester. This makes sense, considering it's just about the smallest, but being brand new (and seemingly done to a great standard) will make renting it a breeze. Its central location should also see it remain highly desirable to both tenants and future buyers.
That great location is the key reason I've suggested a studio apartment, which is not something I would ordinarily recommend. The simple logic to that is the higher £ per square foot you're paying (£364 per square foot) and the limited amount of tenants who would want to pay £600pcm plus bills to live in such a small space. That rental figure would however provide you with a strong 5.8% yield, although I don't know the lease / service charges on the apartment - something to ask the agent.
