Bray - Terraced House in need of Modernisation!

Bray village centre mid terrace cottage requiring updating - Just come on the market with Pike Smith and Kemp for £375,000

Accommodation ... entrance hall, sitting room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen, two good sized bedrooms, first floor bathroom and small courtyard to the rear.

Have a look at the photos below (more pictures on the Zoopla link). If you can see through the awful wood paneling and decorating .. this is a potential beauty! I don't think it will be on the market long

Grenfell Road, Maidenhead - 4 Bedroom - Great Location!

This is a cracker! I like Grenfell Road a lot! Its just such a great location within spitting distant of Maidenhead Train station.....so when this Crossrail thing comes to town you can sit back and watch the capital grow! 


In the meantime you can expect a yield of over just over 4%.....you may well say that isn't great.....don't worry, sit on this for a few years and then see then whether its a good investment....you won't be disappointed! 

Its just come on the market with Connells for £599,999 so get in touch......

We Like this one! 3 Bed Shanley Built Home - £475K

Morning All! Todays "Trawl" has picked up a few properties and this one in particular has caught my eye. 

Its in Bramley Chase, Maidenhead and again it ticks quite a number of investment boxes. Its just come on the market with Kirkwood for £475K. Location is spot on with easy access to Maidenhead station for any commuters out there! From the photos it looks vacant which is music to any investors and Landlords ears...plus the condition looks absolutely immaculate so you won't have to lift a finger in order to get this back out there for a quick rental. 

All Shanley built homes are in great demand so again I won't expect you will be seeing this on the market for long! I would expect yields in excess of 5% which is above the average for Maidenhead plus when you decide to sell it will be gone in the blink of any eye!

Lowbrook Catchment - 3 bed - Ideal Maidenhead Buy to Let

Collier Close, Maidenhead - 2 Bed maisonette - 6% Yield!

Good morning! So whats come across the Maidenhead property desk this morning?

Well, I must say if I'm honest with you, not many maisonette's rock my boat, but this one just has something about.....I don't know what....maybe its just because its tired and need of some loving...?

What I will say for £170K and currently being marketed by Roger Platt you could have a great little earner on your hands. Even with some investment to get this one in shape and fighting fit I reckon you could expect to get best part of a £1000 PCM - even with the upfront build costs this would put your yield rocketing towards the 6% mark.....not to be argued with.

Bray - 2 Bed Cottage - Bit of work required but not to be ignored!

Waterman have just released to the market this 2 bedder in Bray for £395K. 

We all know Bray and its just such a great location......There are no photo's of the inside but I reckon you would need no more than £15K to get this ship shape and back on the market as a sound rental property......expect yields of over 4%...even if you had to pay the asking price! 

Again move quickly because the developers will be sniffing around this property as I'm writing now......

Bargeman Road, Maidenhead - 3 Bedrooms - Time to get your hands dirty!

On the market with Roger Platt for £285K this "potential" little gem is worth taking a look at. No photo's of the inside but the couple from the outside probably give you a good indication.....do not be put off by this!

These houses are well constructed and should therefore not surprise you with any nasty hidden costs when you start getting your hands dirty. Ideal for a quick turnaround and back on the market or get it rented. The location, just off Shoppenhangers Road is very popular so take a look!

As with all these types of properties they will be queueing around the corner to have a nose....so get in there first. For further details click here http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/35913484

The Crescent, Maidenhead - 3 bed - Great all rounder!

Good morning "prop pickers"! Well I know the Cricket World Cup is just around the corner so forgive the pun but this really is a great "all rounder"! I really do encourage both you Landlords and owner occupiers to take a look. 

Its just come on the market with Roger Platt for £575K.....I do think its a tad on the rich side so get ready for a bit of haggling. However that aside its a good-un! With real potential for extending this could see some real value growth....alternatively if thats not your bag a bit of a spruce up and back on the rental market (you might want to think about replacing that pink bathroom!?).....expect modest yields of just over 4%....but you should be in this one for the long term!

This won't hang around so get moving...!

Give um a bell.....

Cordwallis Road, Maidenhead - 4 Beds for £360K....thats got my attention!

Good afternoon all my property enthusiasts! 

Got a good one today! Its just been released to the market by Connells and I like it....a lot! This is a rare one and I think could interest all you Landlord AND developers. Pretty rare to get a 4 bed room terrace come on the market....Ive just had a quick check and that famous 4th bedroom is actually usable at 13' X 8'.......usually there a broom cupboard! 

As usual with these type of properties the agents are tempting you with just the one photo.....give them a call Im sure they have more to hand. I would keep an eye on this as it well get huge interest and probably end up in an Open Day and sealed bids. Whatever your preference this could be turned around and back on the market for £410K+ or if thats not your style expect yields pushing the 5% mark....pretty good either way. 

Be quick though!

York Road, Maidenhead - 5 Bedroom for under £450K'!!!!

Morning All....chilly one again!!! When will this winter end! 

Anyway back to business.....I've just seen this property come on the market with Waterman for £425K. At the time of writing this its the cheapest 5 Bed on the market in Maidenhead by over £50K......that's worth some further investigating.

Its location is a short hop from Maidenhead Train station as well....another big box ticked! Its not all a bed of roses though.....from judging the few pictures available it does require a bit of TLC.....those red carpets for one would be the first thing to hit the skip.....remember just around the corner are our friends from Shanley's with all their mod cons, so a bit of competition!

Yet 5 Beds for £425K....ignore this at your peril!
