Well we are deep into the children’s summer holidays
although we have hardly the typical summer weather this year.
I have had an increase in local Warrington home owners walking into the office, I believe this is because we have the Summer Beach Fair on Bank Park situated just opposite our office.

I had an interesting chat with a Mike, the reason why he
stood out to me is because he has never invested before and he must have named
several towns he was looking to invest in. Mike
is a local guy and knows Warrington well. For some reason he was talking
about towns in the North East of the country that seemed to be investable to
him.
I am a firm believe that this is a long term strategy usually something to add to the pension pot. So why start your BTL Empire in a town you do not know and miles away. The beauty about investing in bricks and mortar is you can physically hold it and see it unlike stocks and shares.

The town Mike was looking at is Morley just outside of Leeds, now both Warrington
and Morley are of similar size and,
taking into account the surrounding villages, have similar average property
values.
Now the average
property value in Morley is £172,350 and in Warrington it is £159,040, however the rents are slightly different
in each town Morley has an average rent
of £624 whilst in Warrington the
average rent is £574. This gives both towns an almost identical average yield of 4.3% I have done a little research to
compare the two seemingly similar towns in more depth.
Investing in property is all about what you buy the property for. You make your money with your buying value, rather than your eventual sale value.
Over the last year, property values in Warrington from June
2016 to June 2017 have risen by 10% on detached houses 12% in Terraced (the
most popular rental properties in Warrington). In Morley Detached houses rose
by 7% and terrace houses rose by 8%.
This means if you are considering buying now, our town of Warrington is still a great place to invest especially as you can achieve a similar yield on a property without a bigger deposit! And the capital growth is just as competitive.
