11.5% yield for 3 bed flat in Falkirk


I am going back in time for today’s buy to let opportunity in The Falkirk Property Blog but at a yield of 11.5% it is worth it.

When I am looking for buy to let opportunities on the sales portals I often look at the latest properties that have been put on but today I did something a wee bit different and looked at the properties that had been on the market for a long, long time.  Today’s buy to let opportunity was first marketed in October 2014; yup over 2 years ago.

The property is a top floor 3 bedroom flat in Haugh Gardens.  Haugh Gardens is a cul de sac off Haugh Street which is of Carron Road. The flats is in a 1950’s block and it is an ex Council property.

This apartment has a good sized lounge, an almost fitted kitchen with a balcony off it, three decent sized bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and shower over it.  There is double glazing, gas central heating and off street parking.  The flat needs a wee bit of TLC – let’s say this will cost you £3,000.



The asking price for this property, which is on the market with Your Move, is offers over yesterday.  As I said earlier, it has been on the market since October 2014 so let’s say it sells for £52,000 which, once you add in the £3,000 TLC spend, gets you to a total spend of £55,000.  Based on our experience of renting this type of properties in this area, you should get a rent of £525 pcm on this property.

So that gets you to a yield of 11.5%.
