["Two reception rooms plus kitchen and enclosed rear yard","Two bedrooms and one bathroom; compact layout","Gas central heating with modern Glow-worm boiler","Partial double glazing already installed","Requires full cosmetic renovation throughout","Roadside on-street parking; small plot","Very high local crime and very deprived area","Council Tax band A; freehold tenure"]
This mid-terraced two-bedroom home in Hindpool offers a clear opportunity for cash buyers or buy-to-let investors prepared to renovate. The property has two reception rooms, a kitchen with access to an enclosed rear yard, and a single bathroom accessed from the landing. A modern Glow-worm boiler provides gas-fired central heating and partial double glazing is already installed.
The house requires renovation and cosmetic updating throughout — expect works to modernise the kitchen, living rooms and bedrooms. The accommodation is compact (approx. 862 sq ft) and sits on a small plot with roadside parking; the layout suits a straight refurbishment to re-market or retain for rental income in a high-demand lettings market.
Location strengths include proximity to bus and rail services and several local primary and secondary schools. Notable negatives are the very high local crime levels and the area’s high deprivation; these factors will influence rental profile and tenant selection. Council Tax band A and a freehold title reduce running costs and ownership complexity.
This is a pragmatic investment proposition: low purchase price and clear scope to add value through refurbishment. Buyers should factor in remediation, cosmetic works and local market challenges when assessing projected returns.
