1 bedroom flat - Buy to let Investment -Palgrave House, Fleet Road NW3

I was trawling trough the local market offerings today and came across this cracking one bedroom flat, ripe for investment. 

Its its in decent all round condition , located on the seventh floor and is in fact an ex-local authority flat. Its typically generous in overall size as most of the local authority flats of this period are, coming in at 455 square feet. The only thing that you need do here is update the kitchen and for a flat of this quality, an extra £10k  inclusive of all costs is good enough. 

Location is pretty handy being close to The Heath and Belsize Park Tube making this a popular choice for tenants. Not sure about the legals here as regards the lease length , though that a question for the selling agent.

Lets look at some numbers; realistically, this flat will achieve £325 per week or just a over £1400 per calendar month in rent and with my suggestion of the new kitchen on top of the asking price of £395,000 that gives you a net yield of 4%. You may also need a good broker on this to get you the right mortgage product for this type of investment. If your goal is long term then this place will give a good return, this part of NW3 is on the rise with lots of development going on in the vicinity that is bolstering the values of existing property. Returns in this pocket over the past decade have averaged 100% .

By the way its been on the market a little while, vendor might be up for a haggle..................

for sale through our friends at Foxtons just a few doors down  for £375,000
