Summary - 44, Rose Crescent WN8 8DW
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
High-yield two-bed flat with long lease and immediate rental potential.
Two double bedrooms and large lounge
A compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace property in Skelmersdale’s Old Town offering straightforward rental potential. Set over a generous 921 sq ft layout, the flat features two double bedrooms, a large lounge, fitted kitchen with small balcony and an EPC grade C — ready to let immediately at current rent levels that deliver a 9.5% yield against the asking price.
The long lease (109 years) and below-average service charge (£426) make this a manageable holding for investors. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating, double glazing and proximity to the High Street, shops and local bus links. On-street parking and nearby schools add tenant appeal for families or working renters.
Buyers should note clear drawbacks: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics, and the building shows mid‑20th-century finishes that will need cosmetic updating and routine maintenance. The tenure is leasehold, and measurements/fixtures have not been independently verified — budget for inspection and any remedial work before committing.
Overall, this is a hands-on investment with strong headline yield and fast broadband, suited to landlords or buyer-occupiers willing to invest modestly to secure rental income or improve resale value.
