Description

This two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Shildon is offered with vacant possession and is ready for immediate occupation. The property includes two reception rooms and a spacious ground floor bathroom, providing flexible living accommodation. It has an Energy Performance Certificate rating of Band D. An Electrical Installation Condition Report was completed in April 2025, meaning the next inspection is not due until April 2030. For added safety, the house is fitted with a mains-wired system consisting of three smoke detectors, one heat detector and one carbon monoxide detector. Heating is provided by a BAXI boiler which remains under warranty until February 2027, offering peace of mind for the years ahead. Shildon itself is a historic railway town with a strong community spirit, good local amenities and transport links to Bishop Auckland, Darlington and Durham. It combines affordable housing with convenient access to schools, shops and leisure facilities, making it a popular choice for both families and investors.

  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
