Large terraced buy-to-let with garden, tenant in situ and rental uplift potential.
Large 1,050 sq ft interior with three bedrooms
A substantial Victorian terraced house arranged over two floors, this 3-bedroom property offers about 1,050 sq ft of internal space plus a private rear garden. It has period features and generous room proportions across two reception rooms and a practical kitchen with garden access. The current tenant has occupied the property for several years; it is sold leasehold with a tenant in situ, producing £575 per calendar month.
For a buy-to-let investor the strengths are clear: above-average floor space in a convenient St Helens location, excellent public transport links, and nearby schools with Good Ofsted ratings. There is realistic rental uplift potential to around £700pcm subject to rent review or change of tenancy. The rear garden also offers scope for modest enhancement to improve tenant appeal and rental value.
Buyers should factor in material negatives: the property sits in an area classified as very deprived with higher local crime levels, and it is sold leasehold which can affect long-term running costs. The property appears dated and will likely need cosmetic updating or targeted refurbishment to maximise income and capital growth. The existing tenancy means immediate vacant possession cannot be guaranteed.
This is a hands-on investment for buyers comfortable with management or refurbishment in a challenging rental market. If you are seeking a spacious, income-producing asset with upside through active management and modest works, this property merits a viewing and financial appraisal.
