A three-bedroom mid-terrace in central Scarborough offered chain-free with long-term sitting tenants producing circa £10,000pa. The compact layout—reception room, separate kitchen with utility, bathroom and three double bedrooms—is straightforward and suited to buy-to-let portfolios or a starter renovation.
The property is Victorian-built with solid brick walls and double glazing; the exterior is fair but would benefit from cosmetic updating. Internal areas are dated and would respond well to modernization of kitchen, bathroom and finishes to increase rental or resale value. EPC rating D.
Location is a major value driver: walking distance to town centre amenities and the train station, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Note the neighbourhood indicators — high local crime, very deprived area, and a transitional, cosmopolitan community — which are reflected in lower price levels and steady rental demand.
Important practical points: tenure is unknown and the house is sold with long-term tenants in situ, so immediate vacant possession is not guaranteed. Plot and outdoor space are very small (private rear yard only). Investors should factor potential refurbishment costs, possible insulation/energy upgrades, and local letting considerations into the purchase plan.
