Interesting investment opportunity in Margate?

Hopefully everyone had a good weekend but it is Monday now and time to get back in to the swing of things. 

Over the weekend there was one particular property that caught my eye. The investors I have been dealing with recently have the same mindset when it comes to purchasing in this area. They don't want high risk properties that can give them more bang for their buck, they want a solid property that can give them a decent yield and an attractive capital growth. Who doesn't?! I hear you say and you'd be exactly right. So it is imperative that you have your finger on the trigger and be ready to pull it when something comes up. With that being said I don't think this one will hang around for long. 



The property is similar to one that has recently let around the corner for £725 however I would expect £750 and the current asking price is £140,000. If you peruse others on the market around the area and of similar size and facilities you will see most are in the £150k - £160k range. Depending on purchase price you will be looking at a solid 6% and above gross yield. 

The property would more than likely let to potential long term tenants giving you a solid base for a few years.

6.75% Yield in Central Margate




One of our investors completed on a property in Marlborough road recently, the property had been refurbished by the previous owners so was ready to rent immediately. The property had been sold early 2014 for £95,000, had a bit of money and tlc thrown at it and was back on the market by November and sold for £120,000. The property was on the rental market for 3 days and on its first viewing we had found a tenant (once referencing had been passed). 

There is high demand for good quality property and is driving the rental prices up. If you want to be kept up to date on areas and properties that would be good for investments then give me a call. 01843 293 293 or email gavin.horton@belvoirlettings.com
