Pied a terre- Studio flat on Frognal NW3

Good afternoon all,

Here's another self -contained studio that i spotted earlier on today. Located in an oldest part of Hampstead known as Frognal, this 3rd floor self contained flat has been modernised throughout and offered with neutral decor. Frognal is just a short walk to the tube and shops at either Hampstead or Finchley Road making it a great flat for commuters. 

As ever, the call for smaller flats at the lower end of the local market is always good and this one will achieve a rent of £1150 per calender month, and pretty quickly too. No mention here about the tenure, i.e of leasehold (need to be checked for years remaining) or share freehold. The numbers are as follows; compared to the asking price this will give you a gross yield of 5.3% , not bad for starters and no super savers bank account will give you that ! 

On the market for £270,000 with Paddington Estates, full details as below.

The Bid Easy ! Studio flat on Belsize Grove NW3 - For sale by Auction

Good afternoon property hunters! 

just having a good look through the offerings in the local market to see if there is a good buy- to- let option and this one caught my eye.It's a self-contained second floor studio flat on Belsize Grove,  a stones throw form the tube and local shops. 

The flat is owned by a Housing Association and is being offered for sale by auction through our neighbours Savills.The lease has been sorted out with 125 years remaining,though its in need of modernisation with a guide price of £240,000.Incidentally, a comparable flat was sold in the same building last year that had been refurbished to a high standard for £299,950. 

Based on these figures it should give you an idea of the value once modernised.Presented to the same standard as the neighbouring flat expected  rent will be £1215 per calender month, giving you a gross annual yield of  5.1%,demand for this type of property is always high.The auction is to be held on May 11th,though you can view before it goes to the room,full details as below.

Belsize Park flat on Fellows Road NW3

Good afternoon property hunters, 

Most of the time, I'm picking out smaller studio, one and two bedroom properties for buy-to-let investment, though recently I've noticed that fewer of these are coming to the market tipping the demand-supply balance.

Your Pension could now buy a Buy-to-Let property in Hampstead

In a recent article, I mentioned that pension rules are changing this April. It certainly created a few emails, with people asking questions about it. Therefore, this week, I want to look a little deeper into the subject of your pension and the Hampstead property market. George Osbourne, in last years’ Budget,

Opportunity Knocks .................Eton Place , Eton College Road NW3

Good afternoon,

The sun is shining and that normally helps to brighten the mood somewhat. Yesterday, I told you about a client of mine who popped in to the office to sign some tenancy documents and we got chatting about the local market

In NW3 you rent where you want to live, or buy where you don’t want to live

I had this really interesting chat with one on my tenants the other day, on renewal of their tenancy agreement. They are a lovely couple, early thirties and I know they have decent jobs in Hampstead. They have been tenants of ours for quite a while, so I know them quite well.

Investment opportunity........... Primrose Hill Road NW3

Good afternoon,

hope you are all feeling rested after the Easter break. I've come across this beauty of a flat on Primrose Hill Road that caught my attention and thought that it would be good one to put out there. Its in a block located on the 5th floor, bright, spacious, on a long lease and has allocated parking. This flat will make for a good rental property due to its condition with little preparation required and ticks all the boxes for prospective tenants. 

In today's market, this flat will achieve a rent of  £2490 per calender month, giving you an annual gross 5% yield. It's the type of flat that will have a high occupancy rate attracting a long term tenant,so over time the yield will strengthen. In my opinion, this is just the type of flat the local lettings market needs, so i would get down to the selling agent pretty sharpish, as it won't stick around for long. 

On the market with our friends at Chestertons across the road with an asking price of £625,000.
