BUY-TO-LET DEAL OF THE WEEK: 2 bed house in Chichester, £259,950, 4.5% yield



Summary:
2 bed house in Chichester
Listed for sale on 19/03/21 @ £270,000
Now = £259,950
Rent = £975pcm
Yield = 4.5%
Last sold for £180,000 in July 2009 (+44% in 12 years)


Having been marketed for just a few weeks, this two-bedroom house on the East-side of Chichester has just been reduced in price by a little over £10,000. It's new asking price is £259,950, which is just £950 more than the cheapest freehold house in the whole of Chichester - but this one comes with a garage, which I think makes it the better buy overall of the two.

Located on the Arundel Park estate, these houses are always popular with young professionals, young families and older couples too. In fact their decent size makes them flexible for a wide range of tenants, which helps underpin its desirability and rental value. It's presented in reasonable order, but it could perhaps do with a few cosmetic tweaks. Nevertheless it would still rent (everything in Chichester is flying off the shelf at the moment!) and would do so for around £975pcm. That would provide a decent 4.5% rental return based on paying the full asking price.

The current owner bought the property in 2009 for £180,000, so it has risen a decent 44% in the 12 years they have owned it. Then again, its history highlights the huge increase in property prices in the run up to this, having sold for just £56,500 in 1997 i.e. a meteoric rise of 219% in the 12 years previous (between 1997-2009)!

BUY-TO-LET DEAL OF THE WEEK: 2 bed house in Fishbourne, £259,700, 4.6% yield




Summary:
2 bed house in Fishbourne
Listed for sale on 21/12/20 @ £265,000
Now = £259,700
Rent = £1,000pcm
Yield = 4.6%


When is a house not a house? When it's a coach house! OK, technically it is a house, and a freehold one at that, which is good. But when you think 'house' you think of living areas downstairs and sleeping areas upstairs, along with a garden out back. In my opinion, a coach house is really just a flat above a garage...

This coach house in Fishbourne is nicely presented though, being modern throughout. The kitchen comes with integrated appliances and the bathroom has a shower over the bath. There's also two double bedrooms, gas central heating and double glazing....just no garden. There is a large garage though as mentioned, with parking in front.

As a result, the (rather strange) £259,700 asking price seems fair, although I expect a reduced offer should be accepted based on it clearly having been on the market a while. The reason that is abundantly clear is because of the photos, which features a Christmas tree in the lounge (the agent should have gone back and taken fresh photos once the decorations were packed away). The back data shows the property was first listed just before Christmas last year at £265,000, meaning the recent price drop is not a particularly significant one after four months of not selling, so it may still need a little trimming off to get sold.

I'd expect to achieve £1,000pcm for such a well-presented two bedroom property, even if it were effectively benchmarked against other flats, with the bonus of a garage. That would provide a 4.6% rental return, which is reasonable for a freehold property of this age in Fishbourne.

BUY-TO-LET DEAL OF THE WEEK: 3 bed house in Fishbourne, £290,000, 4.8% yield

Summary:
3 bed house in Fishbourne
Listed for sale on 17/03/21 @ £290,000
Rent = £1,150pcm
Yield = 4.8%
Last sold for £227,000 in 2014 (+28% in 7 years)


This house in Fishbourne is presented in nice condition and benefits from three double bedrooms, off-road parking and a private garden, making it an excellent proposition as a rental property.

It will be popular with a variety of tenants - be they sharers who won't have to argue over having a box room or more traditional tenant types for the area, such as young professionals or young families. Fishbourne is a quiet (but growing) village with a well-regarded primary school, pubs, village centre and good transport links, with easy access to the nearby A27 or Fishbourne's own train station.

Having just been listed at £290,000, a three-bedroom house in the area for that price is a good proposition. It last sold for £227,000 in 2014, so has seen decent growth of 28% in the past seven years. I'd expect it to rent for £1,150pcm given the severe lack of supply at the moment (there are only 4 three-bedroom houses in Chichester currently available to rent). That would equate to a decent 4.8% rental yield on what should be a relatively hassle-free and simple to let property.

The property is on the market with Bell & Blake and full details can be found on Rightmove via the following link: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/104235404
