| Description: | Its hard to believe this is London. The only thing that reminds you that its London is the presence of the tube. This is an internationally known place. Famous for its tennis grounds and competition it attracts buyers from all over the world. For the right property you can charge astronomical rent for the two weeks the event is on. This is another place like East Dulwich – its an exceptional place to live. You will be competing for properties with locals trading up and down, people wishing to move here and investors from both home and overseas. In other words its competitive! 8% yields are nearly possible from the studio and 1 bed flats. Again be careful of service charges as they can really damage your wealth. Avoid apartments with fancy gyms or pools. You’re not short of greenery in this area. Try to find properties near the station (they will be expensive though) or try Parkside or the Village for cheaper properties but you will be restricting your tenants to car owners or non commuters. Speaking to agents they say that there is a shortage of houses. Landlords are achieving above there advertised rental prices! In Wimbledon Central apartments are going within hours. | |||||||
