Property 4 – BTL Case Study

The purchase of property 4 was quite straight forward. It needed very little work apart from painting, which is what I was looking for, as I’m busy with other things.

I had chosen to try a new solicitor, and they did a great job. Much more organised and so the sale went through without any problems.

Here are the stats.

Price £96K
Mortgage £72K @ 3.4% = £204 per month
Deposit £24K
Rent £595 per month
Management 9%+VAT = £64
Insurance £13 per month
Cashflow 595 – 64 (management) – 204 (mortgage) – £13 (insurance) = + £314 per month
Return on Cash 3768/23000 = 15.7%

Not a bad ROI, but no forced appreciation by doing a refurb, so I can do better. Here is the updated summary

Type Deposit Rent ROI Cashflow
Property 1 2 bed semi £26.25 £595 13.6% + £298
Property 2 3 bed detatched £31.25 £650 8.54% + £305
Property 3 2 bed semi £22.5 £525 16.5% + £309
Property 4 2 bed semi £24k £595 15.7% + £314
Total + £1226pcm
