Tenant in situ — immediate rental income potential
A straightforward, low-cost Victorian mid-terrace in Oswaldtwistle, offered with a tenant in situ — a ready-made purchase for investors seeking immediate rental income. The house has two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen leading to a low-maintenance rear yard, two double bedrooms and one single, plus a first-floor family bathroom. Practical comforts include uPVC double glazing and gas central heating throughout.
The property is leasehold with a long remainder (circa 880 years) and sits in Council Tax Band A, keeping holding costs low. At about 859 sq ft, the layout is traditional and compact: rooms are modest in size but functional. Broadband and mobile signal are strong locally, which supports modern tenant needs.
Buyers should note the wider context: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, which affects long-term demand and lettings risk. The house is sold with an occupant in place, so access and timing will be subject to the tenancy. The accommodation is generally ready to let but offers straightforward potential for cosmetic updating to improve rents or resale value.
This is best suited to investors targeting entry-price buy-to-let opportunities in Accrington — someone wanting an easy-management terrace with low immediate outgoings and clear scope for small improvements over time. Families or first-time purchasers should weigh the neighbourhood profile and compact room sizes before viewing.
