A compact Victorian mid-terrace presented as an investor opportunity close to Stoke-on-Trent town centre. The property is let at £575 pcm (£6,900 pa), giving an approximate 8.6% gross yield at the guide price of £80,000. Tenure is freehold and the lot will be sold unconditionally at online auction on 10th December 2025.
The house requires external renovation to the brickwork and paintwork; the façade shows signs of wear and potential minor damp. Internally the auctioneer has not inspected the property, and it is sold with the sitting tenancy in place — purchasers must accept the property as seen and check the legal pack for tenancy details.
Practical positives include a modern compact kitchen, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, very low council tax, and no flooding risk. The location is an urban cultural mix close to local amenities and schools; the surrounding area has high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which will influence tenant demand, insurance and management considerations.
This is best suited to buy-to-let investors or experienced refurbishers looking for rental income, short-term yield and light-to-medium renovation scope. Buyers should budget for buyer’s auction fees, a 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) on exchange, and a purchaser administration charge (see legal pack).
