A ready-made investment: two self-contained flats in a small two-storey building, sold with tenants in situ generating £385pcm and £360pcm respectively (total £745pcm). The set-up suits a landlord wanting immediate rental income and minimal voids; both flats have private entrances and PVCU double glazing. The first-floor flat benefits from gas central heating and a mezzanine bedroom, while the ground-floor flat is compact with electric heating.
Practical running costs are clear: leasehold with c.150 years remaining, a below-average service charge of £165 and a modest ground rent of £100. The property is close to Congleton town centre, local amenities and Congleton Park, with very low local crime and good transport links including the nearby railway station.
Notable limitations are the small overall size (approximately 393 sq ft total), low ceilings and generally small rooms — the flats are compact and better suited to rental use than family living. The area is classified as relatively deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth. Buyers should also note the ground-floor flat uses electric heating and that tenants remain in situ, so viewings and possession depend on tenancy terms.
