Description
The apartment has only recently become vacant and is currently being actively marketed to let at £800 pcm, giving an incoming investor the opportunity to secure a new tenancy quickly in an area with consistently strong rental demand. Based on the current asking price and market rent, this represents a gross yield of 13.7% and a net yield of approximately 9.7% after ground rent and service charges — figures that comfortably outperform typical UK buy-to-let returns.
The property is held on a leasehold basis with 104 years remaining, subject to a ground rent of £100 per annum and a service charge of £2,726.60 per annum. The building holds a valid EWS1 external wall fire review certificate with an A2 rating, confirming the cladding system presents no identified risk — helpful reassurance for buyers requiring mortgage finance, as many lenders request this documentation before proceeding. The apartment has an EPC rating of C.
Wood Street sits immediately south of Bold Street, widely regarded as one of Liverpool's most desirable streets for independent cafés, restaurants, bars and boutique retail. The location is within easy walking distance of Liverpool ONE, Liverpool Central Station, and the city's central business district, and is well placed for both the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University — a combination that supports strong, consistent tenant demand from young professionals and students alike.
An ideal acquisition for investors seeking a low-entry-point, high-yielding city centre asset with lender-friendly paperwork already in place.
