Easy to rent 2 bed flat in Falkirk


I was coming back from viewing a property with a landlord of mine when I spotted the ‘For Sale’ sign outside this block of flats.

The property is a 2 bedroom flat in Fairfield Place.  Fairlfield Place is a fairly modern development off Thornhill Road near Forth Valley College so it is within walking distance of the town centre and the railway station, perfect for the commuting tenant.

This apartment has a good sized lounge, a fitted kitchen, two decent sized bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and shower over it.  There is Upvc double glazing but on electric heating.  There is ample parking and views onto Victoria Park.   


Let’s do the maths.  The asking price for this property, which is on the market with Clyde Properties, is offers over £57,000.  The property has been on the market for some time now and the price was lowered in early November 2015 so let’s say it goes for £62,000.

Based on our recent experience of renting this type of properties in this area, you should get a rent of £400 pcm on this property.

So that gets you to a yield of 7.7%.
