Family home makes good Falkirk buy to let opportunity



Today’s buy to let opportunity from The Falkirk Property Blog is a three bedroom semi-detached house in the Bantaskine area of Falkirk. 

The property on Bantaskine Street in Falkirk.  It has a large lounge/dining room, a separate fitted kitchen and a bathroom with a bath over the shower on the ground floor.  Upstairs there are three good sized bedrooms.  The front of the property have been mono blocked in full and can take two to three cars and at the rear there is an easily maintained garden.

A thoughts about this property.  On the positive side, there are not that many family homes like this for rent in Falkirk and, generally, tenants of family homes like this stay longer because the family ‘sets down roots eg the kids go to school but is good news.  On the not so positive side, the bathroom is downstairs and the bedrooms are upstairs and this combination puts off some potential tenants, particularly ones with younger kids (night time toilet issues!).



The house is on the market with Purplebricks for offers over £117,000 so let’s say it goes for £125,000.  I would expect this property to achieve rent of £725-750 pcm which gets you a gross return of 7-7.2% which is a fairly good return in the current market.
