About two
years ago, I wrote an article comparing Warrington, Widnes and Runcorn’s
property markets to see which town’s property market would give an investor the
best return on their investment. If you remember reading that article, I looked
at the average property prices and the average rents in each town.
Two years ago, the research
showed that Warrington was the safest
of the three towns showing a yield of 5.7%,
compared with Widnes’ of 4.5% and Runcorn’s 5.1%.
I thought I
would re-visit my old research and see what changes have happened over the last
two years. Although I compared Warrington against Widnes and Runcorn, today I
will just be looking at Warrington and Runcorn (two bedroom terraced houses in
particular).
How do the two towns stack
up?
I decided to
look at two bedroom terraced houses is because this is the most popular rental
property in Warrington – this two up two
down property investment strategy has been a strategy that has lasted the test
of time. Providing you purchase at the
right price and do your due diligence (or ask us to do it for you) you
cannot go far wrong.
The average two bedroom terraced house in Runcorn comes in at £87,881 with an average rent of £501pcm, giving you a very strong yield of 6.8%.
Let’s take a
look at Warrington. The average two bedroom terraced house In Warrington is £94,380 with an average rent of £560, giving us an even stronger yield of 7.1%.
It still
goes to show, our town of Warrington is a good and safe place to invest in
property. As always, this is a decision that you should not take lightly – both
towns have their merits. These are only averages, so if you buy wisely and are
in a position to move quickly, you could pick yourself up a property producing
yields of 8%+ in either town.
As I always say, the trick is knowing WHAT and WHERE to buy – or even
more important, what NOT to buy!
