Great refurbishment potential for investors seeking rental uplift near the university.
Two bedrooms, approx 765 sq ft of mid-terrace accommodation
Chain-free freehold — straightforward purchase process
Town-centre location close to Teesside University and shops
Full refurbishment required; signs of mold and neglect internally
Very high local crime and very deprived area — location risk
Double glazing fitted pre-2002; solid brick walls likely uninsulated
Mains gas boiler and radiators present; low council tax
Buyers' fee £3,000 + VAT payable on purchase
This two-bedroom mid-terrace in Middlesbrough TS1 is a clear investor prospect. Chain-free freehold ownership, town-centre location and proximity to Teesside University give strong rental and resale appeal once upgraded.
The house retains period features — bay window, Victorian brick façade and a fireplace — but requires full renovation throughout. The property has double glazing installed before 2002, a mains gas boiler with radiators, solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and approximately 765 sq ft of accommodation. A small private rear yard and very low council tax help running costs.
Be realistic about scope: the interior shows neglect and signs of mold in places, and the listing states a full refurbishment is needed. The immediate area is very deprived with very high crime rates, so factor location-specific demand, management and safety measures into any operating plan. Buyers’ fees of £3,000 + VAT apply.
For the right buyer — investor, developer or hands-on first-time buyer willing to renovate — the property offers value-add potential from refurbishment, targeting students, local workers or resale buyers after improvement.
