A compact, freehold three-bedroom semi in S70 offered with tenants in situ, delivering immediate income and a straightforward addition to a buy-to-let portfolio. The property has been let to the same tenant for four years on a rolling contract, producing £675pcm (£8,100pa) and a net yield of 6.75% at the asking price of £120,000. For an investor seeking low void risk and immediate cashflow, this is a practical, no-difficult-vacancy purchase.
The building is Victorian, solid-brick construction with period character and medium-to-high ceilings. Key positives include off-street parking, a small garden, basement storage (conversion potential subject to consents) and an expected council-backed energy upgrade already arranged: an air-source heat pump and new radiators are due to be installed, with an anticipated EPC uplift (quoted from D toward B). Those funded improvements should reduce running costs and help future lettability without extra capital from the buyer.
There are material considerations to weigh. The property is small overall (approx. 797 sq ft) and sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime statistic, which may limit tenant pools and rent growth compared with more affluent locations. The walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation; further thermal or decorative refurbishment may be required to reach modern standards. The current tenant is on a rolling contract — income stability is good but any new landlord should review tenancy terms and management arrangements on transfer.
In short: this is a practical, low-entry freehold investment with immediate income and externally funded EPC improvements. It suits investors who prioritise cashflow and a low-management changeover, while accepting location-related demand constraints and a modest property footprint.
