This Victorian mid-terrace offers an immediate rental income with a sitting tenant since August 2024, producing £700pcm (£8,400pa). At a £100,000 guide price the property delivers a gross yield of about 8.4%, making it attractive to investors seeking near-term cash flow from a compact two-bedroom home.
The house is a traditional two-storey terrace (circa 1900–1929) with period features such as a bay window. Accommodation includes two double bedrooms, two reception rooms, a downstairs bathroom and a rear yard. The property is solid brick construction with double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property is leasehold, located in a very deprived area with high local crime rates, and the building has solid brick walls assumed to have no insulation. EPC is D. These factors affect long-term running costs, tenant turnover risk and resale prospects, and may necessitate energy-efficiency upgrades or targeted maintenance works.
Overall this is a turn-key investment for a buyer prioritising rental income and yield over immediate capital growth. There is straightforward potential to increase value with insulation, decorative and systems upgrades, but purchasers should budget for retrofit works and factor local area risks into their investment decision.
