This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Heysham is being offered with a long-term sitting tenant, making it a straightforward buy-to-let for investors seeking immediate income. The tenant has occupied the property for over 20 years and currently pays £650 pcm, providing a visible rental history and cash flow from day one.
The house includes an entrance hallway, lounge, separate dining room, kitchen and conservatory overlooking a generous rear garden, plus a single garage and driveway. Accommodation is mid-20th century in style with standard ceiling heights and small-to-medium rooms — suitable for tenants or a refurbishment project to increase rent or resale value.
Key positives include freehold tenure, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical benefits for renters. Notable negatives: the area scores as deprived with higher crime levels reported, and the property appears dated, so cosmetic and potentially mechanical upgrades are likely. The sitting tenant may restrict immediate vacant possession for owner-occupiers or a refurbishment programme.
For investors seeking a low-entry purchase in a popular residential location near schools, bus routes and local amenities, this property offers an accessible yield and scope for value-add. Buyers should arrange internal inspection and check tenancy terms, maintenance history and any required repairs before purchase.
