Summary - 17 - 18 BRIDGE STREET TROEDYRHIW MERTHYR TYDFIL CF48 4DT
4 bed 1 bath Apartment
Auction opportunity for hands-on investors seeking rental income and refurbishment potential.
Freehold mixed-use terrace on busy Bridge Street
A substantial mixed-use terrace in Troedyrhiw offering clear investor potential. The ground floor provides a double-fronted retail unit while the rear and upper parts house a self-contained studio and a three-bedroom flat configured as en-suite rooms. The property is offered freehold and will be sold at online auction from 7th–9th October 2025, making it well suited to a buyer seeking immediate possession and control of rental strategy.
Current trading figures outline the asset’s income capability: studio at £200/week and ensuite rooms at £150/week, producing a theoretical full-occupancy income of £650/week. With around 70% occupancy recently, average receipts equate to roughly £1,970/month; the left shop side is on a five-year lease at £300/month while the adjacent shop side is available to let at £300/month. Shop tenants handle bills and business rates, leaving landlord insurance as the main running cost for the commercial element.
The building requires refurbishment and active management to maximise returns. The unit mix and separate rear access create flexibility for short-term lets, HMO-style lettings, or reconsolidation into larger residential units, but parts are currently in need of repair and reconfiguration. Broadband speeds are slow and the immediate area records higher deprivation levels, which will affect tenant mix and local demand.
This is a practical opportunity for an investor or small portfolio buyer comfortable buying at auction and undertaking refurbishment. The property’s size, prominent Bridge Street location, existing income and mixed-use layout provide multiple routes to add value, but factor in renovation costs, active tenancy management, and slower local market dynamics.
