SHOULD YOU INVEST IN SWINDON?
The market town of Swindon is a popular one when it comes to property investment, mostly due to its fast-growing economy. The area’s economy is mostly based around manufacturing, business services, tech, research, pharmaceuticals and financial services.
The transport links for the area are good as well, with it only being 50-55 minutes by train to London Paddington. It’s close to the M4 and the A419 as well, which makes it popular for commuters to Bristol & Cheltenham.
Furthermore, there are plans to transform the area with an injection of £300m which is to be spent on revamping the town centre.
WHAT YIELD CAN YOU GET IN SWINDON?
Without knowing the exact property, estimating a yield is pretty tricky, as each property will have a different discount.
That being said, we can look at Swindon as an average when compared to the rest of the country, to initially determine if it’s an area that may offer good yields.
According to Rightmove, in Swindon, the overall average house price in 2020 was at £251,954. If you combine that with the figure from Home.co.uk of the average rental in July 2021, which is £732 you get a yield of 3.49%.
That isn’t the highest yield, but if we are able to provide you with a good level of discount, you might be able to get it to stack much higher.
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN SWINDON
There are several different investment opportunities in the Swindon area which attracts a variety of different kinds of property investors – there’s something suitable for everyone! Here are a few examples of investment types we regularly have available in the town:
These tend to be normal residential houses, 2 to 3 bedrooms terrace, semi-detached, detached or flats.
They are houses that are suitable for the average renter and are sometimes known as vanilla buy to let properties.
A House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) is a rented property occupied by at least three people who are not from one household or five or more people, forming two or more households.
This type of Buy To Let is a freehold block which offers multiple, separate or independent residential units.
This can be a variety of different types of property such as blocks of flats or houses converted into flats.
This is very similar to HMO’s and even are often referred to as non-licensable HMO’s.
They have many characteristics of a typical HMO but don’t require the licence, but they may still require planning permission from your local authority.
As the name describes, this is a commercial premises and it is when you let the property out to one or more businesses.
It’s often referred to as Commercial Landlord Mortgage, Business Buy To Let Mortgage or Commercial Investment Mortage.
