This brick-built end-terrace Victorian property offers a straightforward investment entry in Scarborough with tenants in situ and no chain. The house provides two double bedrooms, a living room plus separate dining/second reception, fitted kitchen with utility area, and a small private courtyard. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; partial double glazing is already installed.
For an investor, immediate rental income is the primary draw: the property is sold with tenants in place so you can take ownership and collect rent straightaway. The council tax band is low (A), and broadband and mobile signal are strong—practical for renters. Nearby transport links, local shops and the seafront location add tenant appeal despite the wider area's economic challenges.
Buyers should be clear about likely refurbishment needs. The building has solid brick walls and pitched roof with assumed limited insulation; a full upgrade (insulation, possibly windows and wiring checks) would improve energy performance and tenant comfort. The small plot and courtyard need work and the property shows dated internal fittings in places. On-street parking only.
Location factors are mixed: good connectivity and local amenities contrast with very high recorded crime and heavy area deprivation, which can affect long-term capital growth and tenant profiles. This is a pragmatic, cashflow-focused opportunity for investors prepared to manage a let in a challenging neighbourhood and to invest in energy and cosmetic improvements.
