Kings Avenue, Greenford, UB6

This one is aimed squarely at investors and families, and it is about as straightforward as an investment purchase gets.

There is also no onward chain, so nothing is holding the sale up at the seller's end.

What you are buying is a proper house rather than a compromise. It is semi detached, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, which puts it ahead of most rental stock at this level where one bathroom for three bedrooms is the norm. Two bathrooms is what lets a house work properly for a family or a sharer arrangement, and it is the difference between a property that lets easily and one that sits.

The proportions are the thing you notice when you walk in. High ceilings throughout and generously sized rooms, the kind of scale you get in older houses and almost never in anything modern. It gives the whole place a feeling of space that newer three bedroom houses simply do not have.

A double front reception, a dining room behind it, and a kitchen and reception room running across the back where the house has already been extended. Three rooms is more flexible than one big one, particularly for a let, because it means the space can be used in more ways by more kinds of tenant.

There is a shower room on the ground floor and a family bathroom upstairs, so there is a bathroom on each floor. On a three bedroom house that is genuinely useful and it is the most expensive thing to add later, because both the plumbing and the space have to come from somewhere. Here they already exist.

Outside there is off street parking on a private driveway. Anyone who has tried to let or sell a house in this area without parking knows exactly what that is worth.

The extension across the back has already been done, which takes the hardest part of adding space off the table. There is further scope to extend beyond that, subject to the usual planning consents, so there is a route to adding value when you are ready rather than needing to do it on day one.

That is really the appeal of this one. It earns money from the moment you own it, and the improvements are optional and can be done in your own time, whether that is modernising when the tenancy ends or going after the extension. You are not forced to spend before you start earning.

It will also suit a buyer who wants to live here eventually and is happy to let it in the meantime.

For getting around, Greenford sits in Zone 4 with the Central line running directly into the West End, plus the Greenford branch line connecting through to the Elizabeth line for Paddington. The A40 Western Avenue is close by for anyone driving.

The practical side. Share of freehold. Sold with tenants in situ. No onward chain. Off street parking.
