St Albans Road

AT A GLANCE

• Gross yield fully let: 9.0%
• Projected annual income: £19,800
• Current passing income: £12,600 per annum (two sitting tenants)
• Three self-contained apartments in one substantial end-terrace building
• One apartment newly vacant – immediate uplift opportunity

A HIGH-YIELDING BLOCK IN A PREMIER COASTAL LOCATION

43 St Albans Road is a substantial end-terrace property arranged as three self-contained apartments, offered for sale as a single investment lot in the ever-popular seaside town of Lytham St Annes. With two sitting tenants already in place and the third apartment just becoming vacant, the block offers the best of both worlds: secure income from completion, plus the immediate opportunity to let the vacant apartment and drive the gross yield to a highly attractive 9%.

For an investor, multi-unit blocks of this kind offer built-in resilience that single lets cannot match. With three separate income streams under one roof, a void in any one apartment still leaves two-thirds of the income flowing – and demand for well-located apartments in Lytham St Annes remains consistently strong.

THE NUMBERS

• Asking price: £220,000
• Ground floor two-bedroom apartment: £550 pcm (tenanted)
• Top floor one-bedroom apartment: £500 pcm (tenanted)
• First floor two-bedroom apartment: £600 pcm expected (vacant – ready to let)
• Current passing income: £1,050 pcm / £12,600 per annum
• Fully let income: £1,650 pcm / £19,800 per annum
• Gross yield on current income: 5.7%
• Gross yield fully let: 9.0%

A 9% gross yield significantly outperforms typical single-let buy-to-let returns and comfortably exceeds returns from savings and most income-producing assets, while the underlying bricks-and-mortar – a large end-terrace in an established coastal town – provides a solid foundation for long-term capital growth.
