Buy To Let Property Review: Whitehall Close, Uxbridge

Whitehall Close is very close to Uxbridge Town Centre. Just cross the Hillingdon Road and you are on Vine Street which is the road that Randall’s is on, so as I said very close to Uxbridge.

This two bedroom maisonette is on the market at £235,000. I would expect the property to let for circa £1,100 subject to condition which is a yield of 5.6%.

No lease details at this stage and another question to enquire about is parking arrangements, which may be on street with a permit.
Maisonettes will let to families and with the garden pet owners may well be keen. According to Lets With Pets owners in the UK account for 46% of families and is a large market, opening up your property to pets will increase the speed of lets and frequently pet owners stay longer as tenants.

However pets can cause extra damage and re-letting more difficult so agreeing at the start that a professional clean needs to take place at the end of the tenancy will resolve issues later. People get used to the background smells in their own home and don’t notice them and so object to resolving something they don’t believe is a problem. Best agreed clearly at the start with a separate signed form.
