This two-bedroom end-terrace on Barnsley Road is being sold at auction with a tenant in situ, offering immediate rental income from day one. The property’s period bay-window façade and solid brick construction provide character and scope for cosmetic improvement to increase value.
Currently let at £500 pcm, the house suits investors seeking a low-entry purchase with refurbishment upside. It is freehold, council tax band A and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for tenants and relets.
Be frank about the location: the area is very deprived with very high crime rates, which will affect tenant demand and resale pricing. The property dates from c.1900–1929 and likely lacks wall insulation, so budget for thermal upgrades and possible general modernisation.
This sale is online via secure auction (starting bid £61,000). The small rear garden and nearby schools and amenities offer everyday convenience, but purchasers should factor in renovation costs and the neighbourhood context when calculating returns.
