Description

This freehold terraced property in central Swindon is arranged as two self-contained one-bedroom flats and is offered with tenants in situ. The ground-floor flat has access to the rear garden, while both flats have separate electricity meters and private living accommodation. The property also has off-road parking, with the listing stating that the space measures approximately 13.5m by 4.9m and could accommodate four to five cars. General modernisation is noted as a possible way to update the accommodation. As both flats are held under one freehold title, buyers should check finance options, as the listing advises that standard residential lending may not be suitable. The stated gross yield is approximately 10.6%.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £180,000–£200,000, this freehold terrace is presented as two self-contained one-bedroom flats, with tenants in place, separate electricity metering and a notably long off-road parking area. The photographed interiors look clean and usable rather than in need of major work; older kitchen cabinetry and some dated flooring leave scope for a light cosmetic refresh, while the enclosed garden is already maintained. The listing’s projected gross yield is approximately 10.6%, though this is an investment-led proposition rather than a straightforward owner-occupier purchase.

The overall opportunity is graded D: the project has practical appeal, but floor area is missing, so value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The single freehold title may also require cash or specialist buy-to-let finance, as the listing notes it may not suit a standard residential mortgage.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the older kitchen cabinetry and dated flooring while retaining the clean, usable character of the photographed interiors.
  • Two self-contained flats, tenants in situ and individual electricity metering offer an established investment setup.
  • The enclosed garden and generous off-road parking area are practical features that distinguish the property.

Key risks

  • The single freehold title may make standard residential mortgage finance unsuitable; buyers may need cash or specialist buy-to-let finance.
