A compact two-bedroom top-floor apartment in a modern block, offered as a ready-made investment. The property is currently tenanted at £405 pcm (£4,860 pa), giving an indicative net initial yield of about 9% at offers over £65,000. The flat benefits from a private parking space, double glazing, ensuite to the master bedroom and an EPC rating of C.
Practical details suit investor buyers: long lease remaining (circa 233 years), low council tax (Band A) and modest ground rent (£200 pa). Accommodation is small (around 420 sq ft) with communal heating via a mains gas community scheme; buyers should factor service charges and communal heating arrangements into running costs.
Important drawbacks are factual: the property is in a very deprived area with a very high recorded crime level, which may affect tenant demand and rental growth. The flat is compact and better suited to single professionals or tenants seeking budget accommodation rather than families wanting larger living space. Buyers should verify service charge levels and the community heating costs, and inspect the communal areas and tenancy terms before purchase.
For an investor focused on high yield in St Helens town, this apartment offers low entry price and immediate rental income, but assess local area risks and ongoing holding costs carefully.
