This three-bedroom mid-century terraced house is offered with a sitting tenant paying £750 pcm, making it immediately income-generating for investors. The layout includes a spacious lounge, kitchen/diner, ground-floor double bedroom and two further doubles upstairs, plus a private rear garden. The property is freehold with council tax band A and an EPC rating of D.
The house is solidly functional but dated in places. Exterior cladding and internal fittings show mid-20th-century wear and will benefit from modernization to improve appeal and energy performance. Construction features include timber-frame walls with only partial insulation (assumed), so further insulation or renovation work may be needed to meet higher energy standards.
Location strengths include good public transport links, nearby green spaces and local amenities, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — all attractive to tenants. However the wider area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant profiles.
For investors this is a straightforward buy-and-hold opportunity: immediate rental income, low council tax costs for tenants, and clear scope to add value through cosmetic and energy-efficiency upgrades. Note the property is sold with a sitting tenant in situ and will require active management and likely refurbishment to maximise rent and future resale value.
