AMRP is pleased to make available this investment opportunity of a substantial three-bed family home, arranged over three floors, in a desirable postcode with strong rental demand.

The property is available at an offers-in-the-region-of price of £57,500. Our maintenance team estimates refurbishment works of £7,500. Adding in our standard stamp duty and your buyer legals would bring your investment to £70,000. The property is currently valued by the on-the-market valuation tool at £71,000.

So based on these figures, there’s an opportunity to acquire a desirable property, invest to bring the property to a high standard for rental, and then achieve a strong rental yield based on a projected future rent of a minimum of £550 per calendar month.

This is a location that my lettings team would be delighted to manage, as it’s an area with good rental demand from tenants, giving us the ability to attract the right tenants at the right rent level and deliver a sustainable future investment product.
