Summary - 2 FREEHOLDS TERRACE SHAWFORTH ROCHDALE OL12 8HL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
No-chain 2-bed flat with strong rental yield and low running costs.
No onward chain — available immediately
A practical two-bedroom, first-floor flat offered with no onward chain and strong rental potential. The apartment provides good internal space — a spacious lounge, breakfast kitchen, two double bedrooms and useful external storage — and benefits from a bright outlook over mature, tree-lined communal grounds. Council Tax Band A and reportedly low service charges help keep running costs down.
This property will appeal to buy-to-let investors seeking an advertised yield above 8% and to downsizers or retirees wanting a manageable home with communal parking and low maintenance fees. The building dates from the mid-20th century and has double glazing installed before 2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note material limitations: the flat is leasehold (service charge applies), the building's cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and double glazing is older — further insulation or improvement works may be needed to reduce bills and improve comfort. The local area records higher-than-average crime rates and the first-floor position is reached by steps (no lift), which may be a consideration for less-mobile purchasers.
Overall this is a straightforward, well-situated apartment with immediate availability and investment upside, provided buyers factor in potential refurbishment and the tenure/costs associated with a leasehold retirement apartment.
