Studio-style one-bedroom flat, lounge/kitchen/bedroom/shower room

A compact one-bedroom flat (studio-style) in central Stockton-on-Tees offered for sale by auction. Presented with a realistic rental forecast of around £400 pcm, the property is aimed squarely at buy-to-let investors seeking a high-yield opportunity in a well-connected town.
The flat requires a degree of renovation and updating: the kitchen and shower room are basic and unfinished, and cosmetic and mechanical works should be expected. The long lease (998 years) removes short-lease risk, but refurbishment costs should be factored into purchase calculations.
Location is the main strength. Hartington Road sits close to the town centre, supermarkets, major employers and the train station, offering steady tenant demand from students and professionals. Note the local area has high crime levels and is classified as very deprived—these factors affect tenant profiles and management needs.
This lot will be sold at auction (24 October 2025). For a buyer who budgets for refurbishment and active management, the property can deliver strong gross yield potential; for passive investors, the area’s social challenges and renovation requirement make it less suitable.
