This one-bedroom cluster house in a modern development presents a straightforward investment with an existing tenancy and managed rental income. The property is freehold, double glazed, gas‑heated and benefits from a valid Gas Safe and Electrical Installation Certificate, giving immediate compliance reassurance.
Let as of 1 June 2025 for £700pcm (fixed term to 30 November 2025) produces a gross yield of approximately 5.2% at the asking price of £160,000. The layout includes a ground-floor living room and WC, fitted kitchen, first-floor bathroom and a large double bedroom with built-in storage. A westerly-facing small garden and allocated off-street parking add tenant appeal.
Buyers should note the accommodation is compact (circa 413 sq ft) and described as needing some maintenance; decorative updating may be required. Local crime levels are high, which may affect tenant demand and management costs. EPC C (valid to 2034) and recent safety certificates reduce immediate compliance spend.
The property sits in Gillingham with good local amenities, a train station with direct routes to London Waterloo, and access to primary and secondary schools. It suits investors seeking a low‑management / lettable asset with near‑term rental income and modest refurbishment potential to increase value or rent.
