Currently tenanted, producing £525 PCM rental income
Long leasehold: 999 years remaining
Double glazing and mains gas central heating throughout
Small enclosed rear yard; no significant garden space
Stone-built terrace, likely uninsulated external walls
Located in a very deprived area with very high crime rate
Compact two-bedroom layout; suited to buy-to-let or refurbishment

This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Branch Road is a straightforward buy-to-let for investors seeking immediate income. It is currently long-term tenanted and produces £525 per calendar month, offering an instant return and minimal initial management while tenancy continues.
The house retains period stonework and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. The footprint is compact with a reception room, dining kitchen and small enclosed rear yard — low-maintenance outdoor space that suits rental demand in the area.
Buyers should factor in material drawbacks: the property sits in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, which can suppress capital growth and affect tenant demand. The building dates from c.1900–1929 and the external walls are likely uninsulated; cosmetic and fabric upgrades, plus checks on services, will probably be needed to raise rent or relet at higher levels.
Practical positives are a long 999-year lease and excellent mobile and fast broadband, which are attractive to many tenants. This is a clear refurbishment/investment play: purchase for steady income now, consider modest works to improve energy performance and appeal to increase yield over time.
