Summary:
3 bed house in Westhampnett Listed for sale on 05/11/19 @ £335,000 Rent = £1,250pcm Yield = 4.5%
This three-bedroom house is in a nice position on this newish-build estate (circa 2011-2013) in Westhampnett. It comes with a driveway and garage, whilst the corner plot affords it a larger than normal rear garden.
These houses are extremely popular with Rolls Royce workers as they are practically next door to the factory / head office. As a result they always rent well and do so at a slight premium to what you might typically expect - in this case you should achieve £1,250pcm based on the better than normal plot. Doing so would give you a decent 4.5% rental return based on the asking price of £335,000, which is reasonable compared to other nearby three-bed houses. It is in a good condition throughout and comes with all the mod-cons you would expect of a relatively new home i.e. double glazing / gas central heating / downstairs cloakroom / en-suite to master bedroom. It appears to require no significant work or expenditure on it to get it in a ready to rent state, so would suit a landlord looking for a simpler time of things. There is one thorn in the side of these houses though - they're leasehold (as they're built on Goodwood land). That's quite unusual for houses in general and something to watch for as it means there is an annual ground rent to pay (unusual for a house) plus service charges (quite normal for estates built post 2000). There's been a lot of media attention regarding leasehold houses so it may be that the law changes retrospectively in this regard. For now though there is an impact upon the saleability of the houses as it can put people off; although as long as you factor in the additional cost of the ground rent it shouldn't be anything to be afraid of in my opinion.
