Summary:
3 bed house in Chichester
Listed for sale on 09/07/19 @ £275,000
Rent = £1,000pcm
Yield = 4.4%
Last sold for £249,000 in 2014 (+10% in 5 years)

This three-bedroom house is centrally located in Chichester and offers a sensible, no-thrills approach to buy-to-let. Of ex-council stock, the houses here are typically solidly built and this one appears to be in good condition. It has double glazing and gas central heating, a modern enough kitchen and bathroom, plus an extra cloakroom downstairs. The bedrooms are reasonable sizes - two (smallish) doubles and a single - and you get a large garden too.

For £275,000 this represents an entry-level price as far as three-bed houses in Chichester are concerned and would likely rent for £1,000pcm. This would equate to a decent rental return of 4.4% for a well-located freehold property that appears to need little, if any, money spent on it to make it of a rentable standard. It would likely attract young families who wish to be close to the city centre or hospital.

A good way to check a property is fairly priced before you buy is to look at its previous selling price. In this case it was last sold for £249,000 in 2014 (remember when stamp duty jumped up at £250,000 based on the old 'slab system'), which means it's just 10% higher now than it was 5 years ago. Property prices in Chichester as a whole have increased on average by 26% in that time, meaning this stacks up as a reasonably priced house.
