Freehold Victorian terraced house with tenant in situ
A compact Victorian terraced house in LS9 offered with a tenant in situ and immediate rental income — currently achieving £775 pcm. The property is freehold, fitted with PVCu double glazing and gas central heating, and sits within walking distance of local shops, bus routes and Leeds train station, making it straightforward to let to students or workers.
The building shows clear scope for added-value refurbishment. Original brickwork and dormer loft space suggest potential to improve living space and EPC rating; internal redecoration and some repairs (external paintwork, joinery and masonry) are required. Plot and external space are very small, so value uplift will rely on internal refurbishment and efficient space use rather than garden improvements.
Buyers should note the location’s challenges alongside its letting strengths. The area has high recorded crime and is classified as very deprived, which can affect tenant profiles and management needs. On the positive side, broadband and mobile signals are strong, council tax costs are low and there are several nearby schools and amenities that support rental demand.
This is a straight buy-to-let/refurbishment opportunity for an investor or hands-on purchaser prepared to manage a period terrace in need of repair. Expect incremental returns from targeted internal upgrades, improved presentation, and potential reuse of loft space rather than major land-based development.
