A three-bedroom Victorian semi offers straightforward investment potential in central Queensferry. Currently tenanted at £675 per month, the property is offered freehold and chain-free, allowing an immediate purchase and rental income. The layout includes two receptions, a practical kitchen and a large rear garden that adds rental appeal and scope for value-adding improvements.
The house retains period character with bay-fronted lounge and exposed brickwork, while practical updates are already partly in place: double glazing (post-2002) and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. With a total area around 887 sq ft and a main bedroom across the front, the accommodation will suit a range of occupants from families to sharers, or investors seeking a let-ready home.
Buyers should note material location and fabric considerations. The area is classified as very deprived with a high crime level; this affects tenant demand and management approach. The property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation and will likely benefit from thermal upgrading. Internally the finish is described as well-presented but there is clear renovation potential to improve energy efficiency and modern fit-out.
Taken as an investment the current rent equates to immediate income and a gross yield in the region of 5.4% at the asking price of £150,000. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband are strengths for modern tenants. Prospective purchasers should independently verify services, tenant status and survey the property before committing.
