1 bedroom buy to let investment - Stephenson House, Fleet Road NW3

A landlord came in to the office today to sign a tenancy renewal and we got chatting about the local property market. He works in banking and has recently received an end of year bonus and keen to invest in another buy to let property as his other one that we manage for him has done pretty well over the past 4-5 years.  
We looked through the current offerings and I picked out this cracking one bedroom located on Fleet Road just off South End Green. This is a one bed room ex-local authority flat located on the ground floor of a purpose built block. Its in pretty decent condition throughout and is pretty much ready to go, subject to a few compliance checks for safety and fire regulations. 

Fleet Road just round the corner from The Heath and shops on South End Road with Hampstead Heath mainline station a short walk away as is Belsize Park Tube. This will make it a popular choice for tenants with such amenities close to hand. 

Lets do some figures.... with rising rents expect to achieve £1380 for a flat of this type and based on the "offers over " asking price  for the Leasehold interest it will give you a net yield of 3.92 % ( I based it on £405K). There is healthy demand for these 1 bedroom flats in ex local blocks as they are good value for investors as well as tenants. Oh ,thought you might like to know this flat has risen in value by over 90 %  since the last sale in 2007 or in monetary terms £190,000. 

Offered for sale with Greene & Co in Belsize Park offers over £400,000
