Buy To Let Property Review: Little Grebe House, Wraysbury Drive, West Drayton UB7 7FS

Canal views are offered by this well presented two bedroom flat at Little Grebe House, 130 Wraysbury Drive, West Drayton UB7 7FS. On the market with Christopher Nevill at £229,950. The flat certainly looks the business, set in a pleasant development. Little Grebe House was finished in 2009 so the houses are still new, with excellent energy efficiency.

West Drayton Station is half a mile away and if you have read my blogs you will know I am a big fan of the area and property within walking distance of this station. Should I mention that Crossrail is coming in 2018 at this point!

The lease is certainly reasonable offered at 144 years. However service charges and ground rent total £1,824 which may be a little off putting! I would expect a property in this location to let for around £1,200pcm which is a gross yield of 6.3%.

I would also be asking the agent about parking arrangements.
