Double glazing and mains gas central heating already installed

Council tax very low — lower holding costs for landlords
Requires refurbishment/energy upgrades for long-term value growth
A compact Victorian mid-terrace offered freehold with a tenant in situ, making this a genuine pre-let investment opportunity. The house has two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a usable rear garden — configuration that appeals to local renters and buy-to-let portfolios.
Built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and double glazing, the property already benefits from gas central heating and efficient broadband and mobile signals. Council tax is very low, and the current layout provides straightforward management and letting potential with limited immediate capital expenditure.
Notable negatives are the area’s high crime level and very high deprivation, which will affect tenant profiles and resale values. The building likely lacks wall insulation and may need energy-efficiency upgrades; internal space is compact and the plot is small. The sale is on a no-upward-chain basis with a tenant in place — purchasers must accept the existing tenancy.
This is a pragmatic acquisition for investors seeking a low-entry purchase in Stoke-on-Trent. It suits portfolios targeting steady rental income rather than long-term capital uplift without further area regeneration or refurbishment investment.
