Falkirk buy to let flat – it ain’t bonny but it is yielding 10% + so it’s worth a look!


Today’s buy to let opportunity is a second floor 2 bed, flat at 197 Davids Loan.  Davids Loan is off Carron Road in Bainsford.

There is plenty of accommodation including a decent sized lounge, a modern fitted kitchen, 2 bedrooms, a modern bathroom one with a dressing area (!) although only with a hand held shower I think and on street parking.  The property is in lettable condition and a fair bit has been spent on the bathroom and kitchen. 



Doing the maths. The property is on the market with McEwan Fraser for offers around £40,000.  The price was dropped a few days ago so we probably have a motivated seller so let’s say it goes for £44,000.  Rent of £400 pcm is achievable on a property like this so that gives you a yield of 11%.  Also, the 2 bed housing benefit rate is £449 you may be able to get a higher rent if you go down this route.
