A ready-made investment with immediate income: this ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Blaenavon currently produces £850 pcm, delivering an advertised yield above 8%. The property has been comprehensively renovated to a high standard, including a full electrical rewire, new consumer unit, mains-wired smoke and CO detectors, and a valid landlord’s gas safety certificate. EPC C is already in place, meeting upcoming rental standards and reducing short-term compliance work.
Internal finishes are modern and durable — replastered ceilings, new internal doors, quality ceramic walnut flooring, a refreshed kitchen, upgraded bathroom with electric shower and an automatic extractor fan. Original character has been sympathetically reinstated with reopened fireplaces in the living room and front bedroom. The flat benefits from mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and double glazing (install date unknown).
Outdoor space is a notable asset for a ground-floor flat: private front and rear gardens have been remodelled with pergolas, raised planters, external wiring and solar pendant lighting, plus a fully wired utility/storage shed. External sockets and wiring are in place should a future owner choose to add a garden office or greenhouse. Leasehold details are straightforward with 102 years remaining, a low ground rent of £10 and a below-average service charge of £450.
Buyers should note local context: the area is listed as very deprived with above-average crime rates and classified as a renting hard-pressed workers area. These factors can affect tenant profiles, demand and long-term capital growth. The flat sits within a small town/town-fringe location with average broadband speeds but excellent mobile signal. Overall, this is a low-management, compliance-ready rental suitable for investors seeking immediate income and minimal short-term refurbishment requirements.
