Do semi-detached properties on the Broyle Road make good investments for Buy-To-Let?

I was talking to someone who lives in a detached house on Broyle Road. He wants to purchase his first Buy to Let property and has noticed our rental index and previous articles, so was interested in getting to know the industry a little bit more.
As he has lived in Broyle Road for over 13 years, he felt comfortable investing in there as he knew it well, so we started to discuss the property market in this area. Firstly, we found that 20 semi-detached houses have sold in the Broyle Road since the year 1999.
Property values in Chichester have risen on average by around 140% over the last 15 years, but most semi-detached properties on the Broyle Road have beaten that rise.
When we look back to 2000, a six bedroomed semi-detached property in the Broyle Road was bought for £175,500 and sold in 2006 for an impressive £470,000. With excellent capital growth you would expect yields to be comparatively lower, but some four bedroomed properties on the street can be picked up from £400,000 to £420,000 and could have achievable rents of £2500 to £3000 per month. This means annual yields can reach a very attractive 9%!
If you would like to talk to us about your potential investment, please come into our office on Southgate or give me a call on 01243 887887.
