It’s not often that larger properties are on the market with such
good return. Historically larger properties have been slow to be snapped up
because they were perceived as, well, outside the norm. Most people rented a 1
or 2bed flat. So as a consequence buy to let in the 90s and 00s meant that
everyone bought a 2bed flat. The more equal the double bedrooms the more
valuable. But currently 2beds represent about 40% of the lettings stock. As a
consequence investors are finding yields spiralling downwards.
Larger properties have bucked this trend. With renters renting
until their late 20s or even mid 30s the need for larger accommodation has
risen over the past 2 decades. The price per bedroom is lower and generally
this is what attracts the bigger groups. As they are always out, working or playing,
the need for living space, large kitchens and so forth has decreased. Enter the
savvy landlord with bigger properties. Higher demand, less voids and the price
per bedroom to buy is cheaper – so higher yields. What’s not to like?
We estimate a rental price of £750pw-£800pw, which using the
conservative figure would yield 7.8%!
Tenants will be queing up around the block to see this beauty with
a roof terrace. Purchase in time for the summer rush. With graduate schemes and
new jobseekers entering the London rental market August/September time this
property is keenly priced for the savvy investor.
