Set up as a straightforward buy-to-let, this two-bedroom semi offers immediate rental income with tenants in situ, producing around a 7.5% gross yield at the asking price. The accommodation includes two reception rooms, a contemporary fitted kitchen and a generously proportioned bathroom, making it appealing to long‑term tenants and letting agents alike. The freehold tenure and decent plot size add practical value for a landlord.
There is clear scope to increase long‑term capital and rental returns through modest investment. The rear yard could be landscaped to improve tenant appeal, and thermal upgrades (walls currently solid brick with no assumed insulation) would reduce heating costs and improve the EPC. The property currently uses mains gas and room heaters; consider targeted improvements to heating and insulation for immediate tenant-comfort benefits.
Buyers should be aware of local challenges: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, which can affect tenant demand and insurance costs. Several nearby schools are rated Good, with one Outstanding and one Inadequate; transport links are strong, including close proximity to Stoke station and town centre amenities. EPC D is in place — further efficiency works will be needed to reach higher bands.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, turn-key investment for a landlord seeking rental income now and value-add potential through relatively low-cost improvements. The letting is settled, the location offers strong commuter access, and the property’s layout supports straightforward redecoration or modest refurbishment plans.
