The Investment Case

This property has a proven rental track record, previously achieving £1,100 per calendar month, and given the 2023 refurbishment and current market conditions in the Warrington area, there is a strong case that rental income could be maintained or improved upon.

Yield Analysis at £1,100 pcm:

A gross yield of 6.6% is highly competitive for a freehold property in this condition and location. With vacant possession, an investor can act immediately, choose their own tenant and potentially re-let at current market rates – which in the Warrington area have continued to trend upward.

For those considering a buy-to-let mortgage, the property’s strong yield profile and EPC C rating (meeting current and proposed lending criteria) makes it well placed for financing.
