This mid-terrace Victorian property presents a compact, low-cost entry into Hull’s buy-to-let market. At around 654 sq ft across three floors, it offers two double bedrooms plus a usable loft room, a lounge, dining area, utility and bathroom — a flexible layout that suits rental demand or a small renovation project. The freehold tenure, no onward chain and current tenancy make it immediately income-ready for investors seeking a quick purchase.
The house needs updating: solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation and internal finishes show dated wear. Buyers should budget for typical Victorian-era improvements (cosmetic refurbishment, potential heating or electrical upgrades) to boost rental value and energy performance. EPC rated C is reasonable but could be improved with insulation and targeted works.
Location is practical for city-centre access with strong link roads and local amenities nearby, but the area is highly deprived with very high crime statistics. That will influence tenant profiles, insurance costs and long-term capital growth; factor these into yield and refurbishment decisions. The small rear courtyard and low-maintenance front garden provide outdoor space but limited scope for extensions.
Offered with inviting offers from £55,000, this property suits hands-on investors or developers comfortable managing refurbishment and tenant relationships. It’s a clear opportunity to add value through targeted improvement, then stabilise income in a market where affordable, multi-storey homes remain in demand.
