This second-floor, two-bedroom flat in Queens Crescent offers a straightforward, income-ready purchase for investors. The 732 sq ft apartment is well presented with a modern kitchen, bright dining lounge and two double bedrooms. It’s offered tenant-in-situ, delivering an advertised yield of 8.4%—a clear attraction for a buy-to-let portfolio.
Practical features include off-street parking, freehold tenure, an EPC rating of B and an annual factor/service cost of approximately £800 (paid as c. £200 quarterly). Broadband speeds are described as fast and mobile signal average, supporting rental demand from commuters or sharers. The building sits close to Livingston North station and local amenities, making transport links a strong selling point.
Be aware of material points: the flat faces a main urban thoroughfare so there is some traffic exposure, and communal grounds are modest. The property sits in a neighbourhood described as very deprived with a demographic mix that includes migrant families—factors that may affect long-term capital growth and should be considered when assessing tenant risk. The property is therefore better suited to buyers seeking steady rental income rather than those wanting an immediate owner-occupier move.
Overall, this is a compact, low-maintenance flat with clear rental credentials: modern finishes, reliable services and an established tenant. It will suit investors prioritising yield and easy management over lifestyle amenities or a rural setting.
