Summary - 79 FIR STREET NELSON BB9 9RQ
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Vacant, auction sale with strong rental demand and high yield potential.
Two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, approx. 689 sq ft
A two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered at auction, presented vacant and ready for a straightforward let or renovation. The property is freehold, sits on a small plot with a paved front and rear yard, and offers two reception/room areas across approximately 689 sq ft. Similar local lets achieve around £525 pcm, giving an attractive gross yield for a purchaser paying the guide price.
The house requires modernization: the exterior and interior are dated and in need of updating, and the stone walls likely lack insulation. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. The boiler and mains gas central heating are in place, and the EPC is rated D.
Location is practical for rental demand — close to schools, shops, bus routes and Brierfield train station, with easy road links to the M65. The wider area shows consistently high rental demand, but note the area is very deprived and recorded crime levels are above average, which may affect tenant profile and management costs.
This lot is sold under auction terms on 22nd October (or earlier under auction terms). The sale is suitable for investors seeking a buy-to-let with immediate letting potential or a hands-on purchaser targeting uplift through refurbishment.
