3 bed corner property on the market for £175k
The factors that underpin any buying decision are:-
1) Condition of the property. The property condition will determine to a large extent the type of mortgage or the loan that need to raise. Whether repairs are needed. If so are they cosmetic or are they major repairs.
2)What kind of mortgage do I need? The type of mortgages that are available include repayment mortgage, tracker mortgage, interest only, buy to let mortgage and one account (flexibly mortgage). Are you looking for a mortgage with the lowest monthly outgoings?
3)Is the property is to be let after the purchase is complete?. How much monthly income will the property generate? Assuming a monthly rental income of £700. How much additional cash is required to service the mortgage commitment every month? It is recommended that you pay less than what you earn. If you earn £700 per month then your mortgage outgoing should be about £600 per month. The extra £100 is your contingency or just in case money which must be put aside for when it is needed for essential or emergency repairs.
4)General rule of thumb, corner properties lend themselves well to conversion to flats. Is that a viable proposition for you? Could the property be let for a short while whilst the conversion plans are put into action. You now have a self-funding asset that you can add to. The added value can be realised via disposal or through the re-mortgage route.
There may well be additional factors in your buying decision.
