Fortunately this two-bedroom flat in Parklands has a good amount of space to it, with two double bedrooms, a large lounge and a decent sized kitchen. Perhaps more importantly for the target audience it also has a private garden. This means it will be well-suited to a young family who are eyeing up a reasonably inexpensive way to get within the catchment of Parklands Community Primary School or St Anthony's or Bishop Luffa Secondary Schools.
By reasonably inexpensive I mean £190,000, which is some £25,000 less than it was originally marketed for a couple of months ago (meaning it's been reduced by more than 10%!). The condition may be putting some first-time buyers off, as there are works to be done. I'd recommend a new kitchen and carpets, and seeing as the bathroom hasn't been photographed it suggests this probably needs changing too. Ideally if gas central heating could be installed that would be a great benefit.
If a landlord were to buy it and do these works I think they could fetch £895pcm. This is relatively strong for flats in the area, but cheaper than nearby two-bedroom houses (which are actually smaller). Plus it would be practically new inside - a great place for a new family to create a home for themselves. Whilst the headline rental yield of 5.7% is therefore a little misleading (it doesn't factor in the renovation costs), it does illustrate the good value for money this flat offers.
