Have you asked your current letting agent if they're up to speed with the new regs from 1st October? Hopefully they will be.

Nice Little 1 Bedroom House In Flitwick - 5% Yield

http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-36263070.html

This nice little one bedroom house is currently up for £150,000 and would easily rent for £625-£675 per month, making a steady 5% minimum yield. From the photo's it looks in very nice condition, with gas central heating, UPVC windows, off road parking and a low maintenance garden, plus it's a couple of minutes walk to the train station and centre. This would never be empty for long if on the rental market!

It's even got an extra little loft room, but this can't be classed as an extra bedroom as it's not passed building regs or planning.

All in all its a very nice little investment if you're looking for a buy-to-let in Flitwick!
