A straightforward buy-to-let opportunity in Blackpool: a two-bedroom semi-detached freehold with driveway and rear garden, currently let to a long-term tenant. The property produces an annual gross income of £8,040 today with clear scope to increase to an estimated market rent of £10,200, presenting immediate cashflow for an investor. The house is average-sized (646 sq ft) with traditional 20th-century brick construction and intact curb appeal.
Practical positives include off-street parking, a rear garden, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for lettability and tenant retention. Local amenities and several good primary schools are within easy reach, supporting broad rental demand. The tenant is settled and paying reliably, so the sale suits buyers wanting income from day one rather than vacant possession.
Material considerations are stated plainly: the area records higher-than-average crime levels and the property sits in a medium flood-risk zone. The plot is small and the house is of a standard/dated finish in places, so buyers should budget for routine updating or refurbishment to reach the higher market rent. A Buyers Premium applies to secure the purchase; prospective purchasers should review the Let Property Pack and tenancy paperwork before bidding.
This is best-suited to serious investors or developers comfortable buying tenanted stock in an industrious, transitional neighbourhood who can manage minor works and factor local risks into yield calculations. The combination of current income, uplift potential and freehold tenure makes this a pragmatic addition to a rented-portfolio strategy, provided buyers accept the area challenges and fit-out requirements.
