BUY-TO-LET DEAL OF THE WEEK: 3 bed house in Fishbourne, £310,000, 4.5% yield
Summary: 3 bed house in Fishbourne Listed for sale on 16/01/17 @ £310,000 Rent = £1,150pcm Yield = 4.5%
New to the market this week is a three bedroom house in Fishbourne.
Longer term readers will know I like Fishbourne as an area and have posted a few similar houses as previous buy-to-let deals of the week. A couple of years ago I posted a three bedroom house nearly identical to this one, which at the time (February 2015) was being advertised for £275,000.
With today's property being listed at a still realistic £310,000 (only £13,000 more than a nearby two bed house) that represents an increase of 13% in a couple of years compared to the nearby house. Interestingly the £275k property was withdrawn from the market (perhaps they realised it was underpriced) and relisted a year later for £295,000.
It shows there has been a steady increase in the value of properties such as these and I expect this to continue, particularly as Fishbourne is unaffected (and may even benefit from) the uncertainty surrounding the A27.
It is also interesting to note that two years ago I suggested a rental figure of £1,050pcm, whereas now I would expect to achieve £1,150pcm. That means that even though the price has increased £35,000 in two years, the yield is virtually the same. Unfortunately you'll now have the 3% extra stamp duty to pay of course!
Modern family houses in this area rent well due to their contemporary kitchen and bathrooms, en-suite to the master bedroom and the bonus of a garage. It has the almost to be expected double glazing and gas central heating and being just five years old should be relatively maintenance free for the foreseeable future.
