A substantial converted property arranged as four self-contained one-bedroom apartments, positioned within walking distance of Southport town centre and local amenities. Three flats are currently let on ASTs, producing collected rent of £1,430pcm, with one flat vacant — current income below the quoted full-occupancy potential of around £2,000pcm (approximately an 8% gross yield at the asking price).
The building retains original features and benefits from majority double glazing, off-street parking to the front and communal rear garden areas. Individual EPC ratings range from D to E; some energy improvements may be needed to meet higher rental or holiday-let standards. Each flat offers open-plan lounge/kitchen, bathroom and bedroom with laminate flooring and combi boilers.
This is a clear income-led opportunity for an investor or landlord comfortable with light refurbishment and management of mixed-tenancy flats. Holiday-let use could increase returns but would require compliance with local permissions and licensing. Note: Tenure is recorded as unknown, and there is an active public notice showing the property currently under offer at £280,000 — buyers should verify tenure, licensing needs and confirm any offers before proceeding.
Practical advantages include very low council tax per apartment (band A), no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for both long-term lets and short-stay guests. The surrounding area shows pockets of deprivation; factor in tenant demand variations and potential management overheads when assessing yield and long-term capital growth.
