Today’s opportunity
from the Penicuik Property Blog is a spacious three bedroomed semi detached
house 153 Rullion Road. Rullion Road is
a quality area of Penicuik.
This property
was new on the market yesterday. Given
the type of house it is and the location it is in, I would expect that this
property will be sold fairly quickly so if you are interested in it, best you
go and view it fairly quickly.
The property,
has a lounge, a separate dining room, a fitted kitchen, three bedrooms, a luxury
shower room. It also has gardens front
and rear, a long driveway, gas central heating and most windows are double
glazed.
To me it
looks like an older person has lived in the property until fairly recently
given that it has a shower room not a bathroom, given the age of the kitchen
and by the looks of the curtains and that the property has been re-decorated
and re-floored throughout to make it presentable for sale.
It you bought
this property I would recommend that you re-instated the bathroom as families
want a bathroom even though they may not actually use it. In addition, I would spend a wee bit of money
getting new doors and worktops for the kitchen but I would not renew the whole
kitchen. Finally, I would get some
neutral curtains. Let’s say this work
costs you £5,000.
This house is on the market with Allan McDougall for offers
around £160,000. After you spend £5,000
to do it up, that takes you to £165,000.
You should get a rent of £825 for a house like this so that’s a yield of
%. Given that it is a quality part of
Penicuik, that’s a reasonable return.
