A landlord became ever more curious about the Riverfield Drives Estate’s Buy to Let market after reading our articles about various areas of Bedford, so decided to pop in and ask our advice.
I found that a two bedroom terrace on Heather Gardens was bought for £102,000 in 2002. The same property sold for £131,500 in May this year, which is a rise of 29%.
A four bedroom detached house on Harrold Priory sold for £140,000 in the spring of 2001, and was sold again last Winter for £230,000. This is a rather impressive rise of 64%
Rents for detached houses on the estate could achieve between £900 and £100 per month, yields are around 5.2%. I think in terms of a rental investment, there are better properties, such as smaller two or three bedroom semis, but for owner occupation there are some bargains.
Our passion lies firmly within the residential property market, so please feel free to talk to us at any point about our diverse area.
