A first-floor Victorian maisonette offering immediate rental income with a tenant in situ. The flat has a large living room, a generous double bedroom and a practical kitchen and bathroom — ready to let with minimal input. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local transport links make it attractive to renters.
Key positives include double glazing, mains gas central heating and a share of freehold. The property is close to Dover town centre, shops and schools, and benefits from a steady rental market in the area. The layout is traditional and straightforward, making ongoing management simple for a portfolio landlord.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has around 63 years remaining which may limit mortgage options and reduce resale value; some external repair work and scaffolding has been evident; internal areas show dated decor and will benefit from modernisation. The area has higher crime and local deprivation indices, and council tax is described as quite expensive — all factors investors should weigh against the immediate rental income.
