A rare Victorian semi-detached investment in Aigburth, offered chain free with established rental income. The building is arranged as six self-contained flats (three two-bed, three one-bed), producing a current annual income of £53,400 — around an 8% yield at the asking price. Communal gardens and a laundry/store basement add practical value for tenants.
The property has clear refurbishment upside. Constructed c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and double glazing of unknown age, it currently uses electric room heaters and lacks confirmed wall insulation — upgrades could reduce running costs and boost rental value. Total internal area is compact (approx. 902 sq ft), so individual units are small; this suits high-demand student or young-professional lets but limits room sizes.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area is very deprived with high local crime rates, and the building will likely need insulation, heating improvements, and ongoing maintenance typical of older Victorian stock. Council tax is very cheap, and the property is freehold and chain free, simplifying acquisition.
Location strengths include short walks to Sefton Park, Lark Lane, Aigburth Road amenities, good bus links, and several well-regarded schools nearby — attractive to students and young professionals. This is a clear opportunity for an investor seeking immediate income with scope for value-add refurbishment and improved efficiency.
