Buy To Let Property Review: 3 Bed Maisonette, The Coppice

On the market with Cameron this 3 Bed maisonette in The Coppice is Available at £229,950.

Considering this as a potential Buy To Let investment leads me to the following thoughts:

  • The rent for the area for three beds varies between £1175 and £1450 pcm. So starting with a base of £1175 makes for a yield of 6.1%
  • The property is a maisonette so what will the charges be for ground rent and any service charge or is this property sold with a share of the freehold?
  • There is a garden with the property which tenants enjoy.
  • The property looks to be a reasonable standard. But I would always view.
  • The property is close enough to Brunel that it will appeal to students, at the right time of year. To have three students in the property would make the property a HMO under the 2004 Housing Act and adjustments would be required. As the property is in Yiewsley ward it does not come under Hillingdon’s Article 4 Direction, which bars new HMO’s in Brunel and Uxbridge South wards.
  • The maisonette is 0.8 miles from West Drayton station.  That’s not going to put off too many commuters who take the train to Paddington.

Worth a look.
