This Victorian five-bedroom terraced house on Orbit Street is offered as a ready-made investment, generating £1,875 per month and delivering a reported yield in excess of 8% at the current asking price. The property is fully let, providing immediate rental income and strong proximity to Cardiff City Centre, university campuses and local amenities — an appealing location for student and young-family tenants.
The house retains period character including bay windows, fireplaces, ceiling roses and cornices while benefiting from modern kitchen and bathroom fittings. The ground floor layout includes a lounge, double bedroom, kitchen/diner, utility and shower room with rear garden access; upstairs are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting tenant connectivity.
Buyers should note material location and property factors: the area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant mix. The plot is small and the property shows some signs of needing modernisation in parts, so future maintenance or upgrade costs should be budgeted. Council tax band is moderate and the tenure is freehold.
Overall, this is a practical acquisition for investors seeking an income-producing asset close to central Cardiff. It offers immediate returns, period character and scope for value uplift through managed refurbishment, but purchasers must weigh the neighbourhood profile and potential upgrade costs when assessing yield and longer-term prospects.
