A compact Victorian mid-terrace offered for auction with a tenant in situ, ideal for a hands-on investor seeking immediate income. The property currently returns £665 pcm and is freehold, giving straightforward ownership and cashflow from day one.
The house is solid-brick, two storeys with double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating. Accommodation includes a reception room, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom within about 765 sq ft. Externally there is a small, low-maintenance patio rather than a large garden.
The property requires general modernisation and repair throughout — fixtures, decoration and some updating are needed to maximise rental value or prepare for resale. The walls are assumed uninsulated (typical of its 1900–1929 build) so upgrading insulation could reduce running costs and increase appeal.
Important considerations: the area has very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, so buyer suitability is limited to experienced investors or those prepared to accept higher management risk. Selling at auction and the tenant in place make this a quick acquisition with immediate revenue but reduced opportunity for vacant possession prior to works.
