A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace in Hendon, offered chain-free and with an existing rental history. The property measures about 66 sq metres (710 sq ft) and is Freehold, making it straightforward for investors seeking a small, low-entry asset in Sunderland.
The house currently achieves £600 pcm when let, indicating an achievable gross yield around 12% at the asking price. Accommodation is all on one level and includes entrance hall, lounge, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and a rear lobby with fitted wardrobes. There is a small rear yard for practical outdoor use.
Practical points: the property has double glazing (install date unknown), gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of D. Council tax band A and low running costs help keep outgoings down. The building dates from the early 20th century and retains period character such as a bay window and higher ceilings in the living room.
Material drawbacks are clear and stated: the area is very deprived with high local crime levels, and the neighbourhood is described as challenged blue-collar terraces. The plot is small and the house is average-sized internally, so long-term capital upside depends on area regeneration or refurbishment to add value. Buyers should allow for typical maintenance and upgrade works associated with older Victorian terraces.
This property suits a hands-on buyer or landlord looking for an affordable, chain-free purchase with immediate rental potential. Inspectors and purchasers should verify services, appliance conditions and any works before completion.
