BUY-TO-LET DEAL OF THE WEEK:3 bed house in Chichester, £299,000, 4.8% yield

3 bed house, Pecketts Gate, Chichester, West Sussex


Summary:
3 bed house in Chichester
Listed for sale on 10/04/19 @ £315,000
Now = £299,000
Rent = £1,200pcm
Yield = 4.8%

Last sold for £308,995 in 2013 (-3% in 6 years)

This three bedroom townhouse is offering a lot of property for not a lot of money in the scheme of things. Now priced at £299,000, having been reduced from £315,000 when first listed a couple of months ago, it's actually cheaper than when the current owner bought it in 2013 for £308,995 as a new-build.

To put that into context, the average property in Chichester has increased in value by 24% since then...yet this one has gone down!?! Zoopla's algorithm seemingly can't cope with that, as it suggests the house should now be worth £392,000 based on its previous selling price (+27%).

And as it's only six years old it's in great condition. It's previously been rented (for £1,150pcm according to online data) so presumably the landlord is cashing their chips in...which makes it even stranger they're doing so at a loss. I think it could rent for £1,200pcm such is its good location (albeit facing the main road isn't ideal), size and condition. This figure would provide a very good 4.8% rental return from a freehold property that needs no work to get it 'rentable', which again makes it strange as to why it's being sold...
