Friday form guide: Yields of up to 8.2% in Seven Hills
13 Caird Place, Seven Hills, NSW 2147
An extra-large six-bedroom house in a quiet cul-de-sac could appeal to investors, as its current tenants pay $550 per week. It is within walking distance of Seven Hills North Public and Seven Hills High School and also close to the train station, M2 and M7. The tenants are on an expired lease but are keen to stay on. It also includes a two-car garage and a pergola and barbecue area.
John Law Property agent Jay Chaudhary is marketing the property with price hopes of $350,000 plus, and if it sells for that price that would secure an investor a remarkable gross rental yield of 8.2% at its current rent, well above the gross rental yield for Seven Hills houses of 5%, according to RP Data. The gross rental yield does not consider the costs of maintaining the property, including council rates and other fees such as water bills and managing agent fees.
The median house price in Seven Hills fell 1.7% in the past year but rose 21.4% in the past five years, according to RP Data.
Washington Brown estimates the first-year tax depreciation deduction to be $7,000 and over five years to be $21,000.
The property will go to auction Saturday, July 14 at 1pm.
