This chain-free ground floor flat on Birchington Avenue offers a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or a low-management buy-to-let for investors. The two-bedroom layout and neutral decor make it move-in ready, while period touches—bay window, coving and a feature fireplace—give character to the living spaces.
Practical features include a modern, compact galley kitchen, a well-presented bathroom, private rear yard and an up-and-over door providing off-street parking. The property is freehold and sits in a convenient South Shields location with good broadband and mobile signal, nearby shops and green spaces.
For investors there is a corporate guaranteed rent of £550 pcm with an annual RPI increase; both landlord and tenant have a six-month notice period. This provides immediate income but also means the tenancy can be ended on that notice.
Be aware of a few material points: the EPC is band D, council tax band A (very cheap), and local crime levels are above average. The flat is compact in places (kitchen small to medium) and will appeal most to buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance home or a straightforward rental asset.
