One and two bedroom flats are always popular investments and are equally
popular with tenants so we had a more in depth look at flats in Andover
There are over
2,500 flats within the SP10 post code.
This represents 14.09% of the housing stock here, with the national
average being around 17.80%. The average
price of flats with one or two bedrooms in Andover is around £156,803 which is
up some 2.7% on 12 months ago.
You can buy a
spacious ex local authority one bedroom flat for around £110,000. This would rent at around £625pcm giving the
investor a very healthy return of around 6.8%.
Don’t forget to factor in though your management fees. Also remember to check on the length of the
lease before committing.
Finally, let’s not
forget about the potential increase in capital value of the property. I checked on two bedroom flats in Heather
Drive (Bishops Court and Woodpeckers) and found that they have sold for around
£122,000 10 years ago with the current average sale achieving around £156,000,
so a healthy increase of over 18%.
