This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Oban Road is presented chain free and refurbished throughout, offering immediate rental or HMO use. The front lounge has been used as a fourth bedroom, creating flexible layout options for landlords or larger households. With a potential rent of c.£1,150 PCM, the property yields approximately 9.9% at the asking price of £139,000.
The house retains Victorian character — bay windows, high ceilings and a compact period hallway — while practical updates include recent refurbishment, double glazing (installed before 2002) and modern gas central heating. A usable basement adds storage or conversion potential, and the home sits close to transport links, local amenities and Anfield Stadium, supporting strong tenant demand.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area is very deprived with high crime levels and hampered neighbourhood classification, which can affect long-term capital growth and tenant profiles. The solid brick walls likely have no insulation (assumed), so further thermal improvements may be needed to reduce running costs. Plot size is small and external space is limited.
Overall, this is a straightforward, chain-free investment for buyers targeting immediate rental income or HMO conversion. It suits investors seeking strong yields in a well-connected but challenged neighbourhood, or an owner-occupier wanting a renovated period home near central amenities.
