Long lease remaining (886 years) — strong tenure for investors
Vacant and sold as seen — no onward chain
Estimated rental income ~£600pcm for move-in condition
Requires cosmetic refurbishment; some damp/repair visible

Slow broadband and assumed uninsulated cavity walls
Built 1930–1949 with double glazing and gas central heating
Located in a deprived area; average crime, affects letting strategy
A compact two-bedroom ground-floor flat in Birkby offered primarily as a buy-to-let or small renovation project. The property is vacant with no onward chain and sits in a mid-terrace Victorian-style building with double glazing and gas central heating. The long lease (886 years) is a clear ownership positive for investors.
Internally the flat requires updating: pictures and description indicate dated fixtures, areas of damp/repair, and general cosmetic refurbishment needed. The layout provides a generous lounge, two double bedrooms and a kitchen/diner — a straightforward conversion to a rentable two-bedroom unit with modest investment. Current guidance suggests an achievable rental of around £600pcm for a ready-to-rent standard, with uplift possible for higher-spec refurbishment.
Practical considerations are presented plainly. Broadband speeds are slow and walls are assumed uninsulated cavity construction — factor in upgrade costs for modern tenant expectations. Parking is on-street only and the property is in a deprived area with average crime levels; these affect yield and marketing strategy. The property is sold as seen and prospective buyers should allow for repair, service checks and potential leasehold administration costs.
Overall this is a value-led purchase for an investor or small developer comfortable with light-to-moderate refurbishment. Strengths are the long lease, low council tax, mains gas heating and convenient location near local schools and amenities. Budgeting for refurbishment, insulation and broadband improvement will unlock better rental income and capital upside.
