A straightforward two-bedroom end-of-terrace offered freehold and presented as a solid rental proposition. The property is COMPLIANT for rental, with interlinked smoke alarms, a new consumer unit (Dec 2024), current EICR, electrical certificate and valid gas safety certificate — practical reassurance for landlords wanting minimal initial compliance work.
Layout is traditional: lounge/diner, kitchen, two bedrooms and a single bathroom. Benefits include off-street driveway parking, a gated rear garden with shed, double glazing and mains gas central heating. Full-fibre broadband (up to 1,000 Mbps available) and excellent mobile signal suit modern tenants and boost lettability in this city/major town location.
Location offers local amenities, nearby schools and easy connections, but be direct about local challenges: the area scores high for crime and is classified as very deprived. These factors can affect tenant choice, rental level and re-letting times — important for investors to factor into yield calculations.
Overall this property suits investors looking for a manageable, low-to-medium maintenance buy-to-let with immediate rental compliance and upgrade potential. It’s best for investors prepared to target value-conscious tenants and factor local area considerations into their pricing and management strategy.
