Central investment with solid rental income potential and refurbishment upside.
Three bedrooms with separate lounge and kitchen
This three-bedroom town-centre apartment on Stonyhurst Road is presented primarily as an investment opportunity. The flat is liveable with neutral decor, double glazing and gas central heating, offering straightforward tenant appeal in Blackburn town centre. Achievable rents are estimated at £650–£700 pcm, which equates to a potential gross yield of around 9.8–10.5% at the guide price of £79,950.
The property will be sold at auction and is leasehold; buyers should note that utilities, appliances and heating systems have not been tested and the sale is by secure online bidding. The building exterior looks dated and the communal/parking area will need attention, so there may be immediate communal or exterior maintenance costs to factor in.
Location strengths include a central position close to local shops, public transport and a range of primary and secondary schools (including several rated Good or Outstanding). Material downsides for many buyers include the very high local crime rate, very deprived area classification and a medium flood risk — all important for risk assessment and insurance costs.
This is suited to investors or landlords seeking a centrally located, let-ready apartment with refurbishment upside. Careful due diligence is advised on lease terms, service arrangements, and any required works before bidding.
