This two-bedroom end terrace is offered as a tenanted investment, currently producing £650 pcm (£7,800 pa), giving a gross yield of about 10.4% at the £75,000 asking price. The property is arranged over two floors with two reception rooms, a ground-floor bathroom, kitchen and an enclosed rear yard. Gas central heating and double glazing are present; EPC rating D.
The house dates from c.1930–1949 and shows signs of wear externally and internally, offering clear scope for cosmetic improvement and energy-efficiency upgrades (cavity walls assumed uninsulated). These works could reduce running costs and improve lettability, but will require upfront investment.
Location is a major factor: Southwick provides good transport links to Sunderland city centre and the A19 and local amenities and schools are nearby. However, the immediate area is classed as very deprived with above-average crime, which may affect tenant demand and long-term capital growth. Freehold tenure is stated but should be legally confirmed.
This is a straightforward rental asset for a buyer seeking immediate income and scope to add value through modest refurbishment and insulation. It suits investors comfortable operating in higher-risk, high-yield neighbourhoods and who will manage tenant-in-situ viewings and any remedial works.
