We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

43 ST ALBANS ROAD, LYTHAM ST ANNES, LANCASHIRE, FY8 1TG Asking Price: £220,000 Freehold Block of Three Self-Contained Apartments | Large End-Terrace | 9% Gross Yield Fully Let AT A GLANCE Gross yield fully let: 9.0% | Projected annual income: £19,800 | Current passing income: £12,600 pa | Two sitting tenants plus one apartment newly vacant 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) First floor two-bedroom apartment: £600 pcm expected (vacant – ready to let) Top floor one-bedroom apartment: £500 pcm (tenanted) 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.
THE APARTMENTS Apartment 1 – Ground Floor: A well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment. Let to a sitting tenant at £550 pcm. EPC Rating: D.
Apartment 2 – First Floor: A two-bedroom apartment, just becoming vacant and ready for immediate re-letting at an expected £600 pcm.
A blank canvas for the incoming landlord to select their own tenant at full market rent. EPC Rating: C. Apartment 3 – Top Floor: A self-contained one-bedroom apartment.
Let to a sitting tenant at £500 pcm. EPC Rating: D.
