Central Deepdale location close to university and hospital, ideal for investor tenants.
Sold with tenant in situ — immediate rental income potential
This mid-terrace Victorian property is offered freehold and sold with a tenant in situ, making it suited to buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental income. The house provides two double bedrooms, a modest living room, fitted kitchen, rear utility porch and a three-piece bathroom across an average-sized 697 sq ft layout.
The location supports steady tenant demand—close to the University of Central Lancashire, Royal Preston Hospital and Preston city centre with excellent road and rail links. Fast broadband and strong mobile signal add appeal for students, hospital staff and young professionals.
Notable negatives are clear and factual: the area has high crime levels and is marked as deprived, which can affect long-term capital growth and management costs. The plot is small with an enclosed rear yard, and the property may need cosmetic updating depending on the tenant’s condition and a buyer’s refurbishment plans.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, very low council tax, no flood risk and a simple traditional layout that’s straightforward to manage. Investors should inspect personally or via a surveyor to confirm condition and tenant terms before offering.
