A three-bedroom semi-detached property in north-west Ipswich offered with a tenant in situ paying £850 pcm. The house provides straightforward, let-ready accommodation across two floors, with an enclosed rear garden, driveway parking and double glazing (install date unknown). Built in the mid-20th century, the layout and finishes suit a buy-to-let prospect or a modest refurbishment project.
Key positives include off-street parking, an enclosed garden, and mains gas central heating. The property is freehold and has a very low council tax band, which can support rental affordability. The location is close to local schools, shops and public transport, making it attractive to a broad tenant pool.
Buyers should note material negatives candidly: the area scores high for crime and is very deprived, which may affect tenant demand and rental growth. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and some exterior maintenance and interior updating will likely be required to maximise value. There is a tenant in situ, so any purchase will be with an existing tenancy in place.
This is a practical, income-focused opportunity for an investor comfortable operating in higher-risk urban markets or for a buyer prepared to invest in targeted improvements to increase capital value and rental yield.
