This freehold block in central Scarborough offers a compact, income-focused investment in a Victorian terrace with character features and high ceilings. Located on Westborough, the property combines a ground-floor commercial unit and three self-contained flats, including a lower-ground flat with its own entrance and private rear yard — attractive for lettings.
Two residential units are currently let, while the second-floor duplex and the commercial unit are marketed with achievable rents of £695pcm and £750pcm respectively, presenting immediate upside from re-letting. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add to tenant appeal in this busy, amenity-rich location close to town and transport.
Buyers should weigh the material negatives: the area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, which can affect tenant profiles, demand and management costs. Internal inspection is advised to confirm condition and any maintenance or modernisation needed in this ageing Victorian building.
Overall, the property is suited to investors seeking a hands-on central Scarborough asset with near-term rental uplift potential from two relets, plus long-term value in a period terraced block with separate commercial income.
