Buy To Let Property Review: Newcombe Rise, Yiewsley, West Drayton

On with R Whitley is this one bedroom flat for £155,000 in Newcombe Rise. The location is good, at just over half a mile from West Drayton station. Newcombe Rise sits on the North of Falling Lane, the road which leads to Stockley Park from Yiewsley, so close to key local employment and within walking distance of a mainline London station.

The agents are clear that some updating is required. The room sizes are quite reasonable and there is parking allocated to the property. Questions to consider are what work is required (the kitchen is normally one of the more expensive areas to work on) and the lease length.

One bedroom flats in Newcombe Rise normally rent for around £875pcm. On the asking price of £155,000 this would make for a gross yield of 6.7%.
