With some commentators saying that the sales price increases
are coming to a stop we are already seeing reductions in the asking prices of
some properties currently for sale. I
spotted this little 2 bedroom house in Dakin Close, Maidenbower that has just
had its price reduced by local agent Taylor Robinson. You can view the details by clicking here:
Two bedroom houses like these are pretty sought after in the
rental market, rents have increased by more than 25% over the last few years. Similar houses have rented for £975 in the current
market which would give a yield of 5.3% at the current advertised sale price –
not bad for a freehold house in that part of town.

The second bedroom is small but makes a great
room for a child or single person to stay and there is ample parking in Dakin Close itself. For those without cars
there is a frequent bus service a few yards from the house that connects to
Crawley town Centre via Three Bridges mainline railway station. Landlords need to bear in mind the stamp duty
payable on the £220,000 asking price would be £8500 but with interest rates
still at 0.5% the 5.3% yield on the property looks very attractive.
