BUY-TO-LET DEAL OF THE WEEK: 3 bed house in Chichester, £329,000, 4.4% yield
Summary: 3 bed house in Chichester Listed for sale on 28/10/16 @ £339,950 Now = £329,000 Rent = £1,200pcm Yield = 4.4% Last sold for £299,995 in October 2013 (+9.7% in 3 years)
I've let and now manage several three bedroom homes in the Donnington area of Chichester. They are generally highly sought after due to their close proximity to the A27, train station and Chichester's city centre.
Pecketts Gate is a three year old development of varying sized properties. This property is a three bedroom, three storey house, with excellent sized bedrooms and a good sized lounge and kitchen downstairs. For a townhouse the layout is traditional (living area & kitchen downstairs, bedrooms above), which is good as some can have the kitchen and living areas set over different floors, which can be off-putting to some.
Being just a few years old it is in excellent condition with no works required prior to letting. It will also appeal to tenants due to its clean lines and spacious rooms, so a rent of £1,200pcm should be achievable, which would provide a 4.4% yield. Priced at £329,000 it has also just been reduced by over £10,000 just one month into marketing. This shows a keenness to sell and with shopping for Christmas now on most families radars rather than shopping for a new home, it could be a good time of year to buy such a property.
One dark cloud hanging over this property's head though is the A27...what will happen? Noone likes uncertainty and with Donnington being particularly badly affected should option two go ahead, it could be another reason that the property could be bought for a good price. It's a shame it doesn't have a driveway or garage but at least it has two allocated parking spaces. Having increased just 9.7% in three years it also hasn't gotten ahead of the market (unlike the smaller one round the corner that sold for £290,000 in 2014 yet the owners decided to try and sell it for £350,000 a couple of months ago!!!....funnily enough it didn't sell).
