Vacant investment with garden — auction sale, rental potential circa £700 pcm.
Freehold two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace over three levels
A two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace arranged over three levels, offered freehold and sold via online auction (7–9 October). The property has a stone facade, compact rooms and a small rear garden — straightforward accommodation suited to a buy-to-let strategy or a first renovation project. The house appears in fair order, benefits from double glazing and gas central heating (combination boiler reported but untested).
For investors, the seller’s guidance suggests a rental income of around £700 pcm, producing an attractive yield against the £63,000 guide price. The property is being sold with vacant possession, making it easier to refurbish or place tenants quickly after purchase. At 843 sq ft across three levels the layout includes lower-ground kitchen and bathroom, two reception rooms on the ground floor and two double bedrooms plus a WC on the first floor.
Location is practical: Cymmer sits in the Afan Valley with local amenities close by and good road links to the A4107. Note the wider context — the area is recorded as very deprived with an endeavouring social-renter profile. That can support steady rental demand but may limit capital growth and affect tenant mix and lettings strategy.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the boiler is untested, rooms are generally compact, the plot is small and the property is being sold at auction (time-limited purchase process). Buyers should commission their own surveys and checks on services, tenure and repair needs before committing.
