Buy to let deal of the day - great starter investment property in Strawberry Hill

You can't go wrong with this one in my opinion. Strawberry Hill is a lovely enclave between Teddington and Twickenham with the transport links and amenities that are in high demand from tenants.

It's a studio flat but a good size one - I would never recommend buying a tiny studio flat as it is far more likely to have a higher than average number of void periods and very short term tenants. This one is being sold at auction so, if the concept doesn't scare you. then it's definitely worth a go. With the guide price set at £185k I actually think you'll be lucky to get it for this. If you do though, it's currently tenanted at £750pcm which gives you a gross yield of 4.9%. Given the spec and the location and particularly the proximity to St Mary's University, you'll rent this every day of the week.

You'll have to click on the link to see the pictures I'm afraid as I can only import pictures from Zoopla and this is only advertised on Rightmove - sorry!

Can't not have a picture on my blog though as that's just boring so here's one that amused me! :o)
