Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a fully tenanted, two-flat investment property in a well-connected residential area of St Helens. Offered at £165,000 with a combined rental income of £1,100 per calendar month (£13,200 per annum), this property delivers an immediate gross yield of 8.0%.
The property comprises a one-bedroom ground floor flat, currently let at £500 pcm, and a two-bedroom first floor flat, currently let at £600 pcm. Each flat benefits from independent access: the ground floor via the front of the property, and the first floor via the rear yard, keeping the two units well separated and minimising the potential for tenant conflict.
The first floor flat has always been in residential use, while the ground floor was formerly a sandwich bar, converted to residential accommodation in 2009 following the grant of planning permission.
The property is held on a long leasehold, with a 999-year term commencing in 1895, offering purchasers considerable long-term security with no lease-length concerns.
Located on Cambridge Road, the property is within easy reach of St Helens town centre, local schools and amenities, with St Helens Central and St Helens Junction stations providing direct rail links to Liverpool and Manchester, and swift motorway access via the M6, M62 and M57.
An ideal, low-maintenance addition to any buy-to-let portfolio, offered fully let with no void period and genuine scope to grow rents on renewal.
Tenure: Leasehold (999 years from 1895)
