Confidence: LOW

Rhymney Street is a promising investment opportunity situated in the heart of Cathays' Golden Triangle, an area highly sought after by students. The property boasts three spacious bedrooms and a well-maintained living area, making it suitable for rental purposes. Currently generating an established rental income of £18,630 per annum, this represents an attractive 7.5% return for investors. The enclosed garden offers potential for enhancement, allowing for future improvements and possibly increased rental income.

While the kitchen and bathroom are functional, they show some signs of wear, providing a canvas for improvements to elevate the value further. The recent updates, including a new boiler and damp works completed in 2023, add to the property's appeal, ensuring it is well-maintained. With a good location, strong rental potential, and opportunities for value enhancement, this terraced house presents a solid investment prospect, especially as the asking price of £250,000 is reasonable given the established market in this area, although we cannot yet assess its value versus local £/sqf due to missing floor area data.

Key opportunities

  • Established rental income with a strong yield of 7.5%
