Two-bedroom buy-to-let with tenant, auction start £100,000, no onward chain.
Two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace, tenant in situ
This two-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian stone property sits in the centre of Barnsley and is offered with a tenant in situ — a straightforward purchase for buy-to-let investors seeking immediate income. The house has a traditional stone façade, modest rooms and a practical layout: lounge, kitchen, first-floor bathroom and two bedrooms. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is on-street parking nearby.
The property sells by the Modern Method of Auction with a starting bid of £100,000. Buyers should note the conditional auction terms: completion within 56 days, a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600), and additional buyer costs for the information pack. There is no onward chain, which can speed handover once the auction process concludes.
Internally the finish is basic and functional — neutral décor, laminate and tiled floors in wet areas — so some updating may be needed to maximise rental value. The EPC is band D and the original stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which could mean further investment to improve energy efficiency. The rear outside space is small but private.
Be aware of material local factors: the area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime rates; purchasers should factor this into rent levels, insurance and management costs. Flood risk is low and tenure is freehold. This is a clear, pragmatic option for investors seeking town-centre stock with immediate occupancy and refurbishment potential.
