A compact mid-terrace recently redecorated and offered chain free — suited to investors or first-time buyers seeking rental income. The layout provides two reception rooms, two double bedrooms and a ground-floor bathroom in about 800 sqft, making it easy to let to couples or sharers.
Practical updates include uPVC double glazing and a new Alpha combi boiler fitted January 2024, plus some new carpets and fresh decoration. The gas central heating and straightforward room plan reduce immediate maintenance demands and improve short-term rental readiness.
Important considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime rates and constrained local rental demand; the external plot is small and there’s no significant garden or off-street parking. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and the double glazing pre-dates 2002, so further energy-efficiency work may be needed to reach modern standards.
Overall this is a low-entry, low-cost freehold purchase priced for the market. It represents a clear short-term lettable opportunity with scope for modest modernisation and yield improvement, provided buyers accept the neighbourhood and potential upgrade costs.
