Offered with a long-term tenant in situ, this two-bedroom end of terrace is aimed squarely at investors seeking a low-maintenance addition to their portfolio. The property is freehold, in reasonable decorative order, and benefits from a private rear garden backing onto the Leeds/Liverpool Canal — an attractive outdoor outlook for tenants.
Internally the house is compact (circa 578 sq ft) with well-proportioned rooms, a living room with laminate flooring and feature fireplace, a fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. Built in the 1980s, the home has cavity walls and double glazing (install date unknown). EPC rating D and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators are in place.
Key commercial facts are straightforward: a long-term tenant currently pays £585 pcm, council tax band A, and the tenure is freehold. Investors should note material negatives openly — the immediate neighbourhood records very high crime and the area is classed as very deprived, broadband speeds are slow, and the EPC is D, which may affect rental demand and running costs.
This property suits buy-to-let investors seeking steady rental income and easy management rather than hands-on refurbishment. The canal-side rear garden and off-street parking add tenant appeal, but buyers must accept the tenant-in-situ sale, local social challenges, and some energy-efficiency limitations when assessing yield and exit strategy.
