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.

About
Property Shop are delighted to offer an interesting opportunity for investors to acquire two self contained flats within one terraced property, with the added benefit of differing occupancy positions.
The ground floor flat is currently vacant, while the first floor flat is being sold with a long term, careful tenant in situ.
The recently renovated, ground-floor flat benefits from its own private entrance, with no shared internal entrance, together with a garden frontage.
On entering, an entrance vestibule opens into a generously sized lounge featuring modern décor, carpet flooring and an electric fire.
The lounge flows into the open plan kitchen, which is fitted with a range of units and includes an oven and hob, along with space for a washing machine and fridge freezer.
The kitchen is finished with practical vinyl flooring. There is also a useful storage cupboard within the living area.
Continuing along the hallway is a double bedroom, finished with modern décor and carpet flooring. A door from the bedroom provides access to the rear yard and bin area.
Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a wet room, fitted with a walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.
The first-floor flat is independently accessed from the rear courtyard, opening into its own entrance hall.
From the hallway is a spacious bedroom, offering useful built-in wardrobes as well as an additional storage cupboard.
Further along the hall is another practical storage area before reaching the generously proportioned living room.
A large front-facing window provides plenty of natural light, while the living space opens directly into a modern fitted kitchen, complete with oven and hob.
Completing the first-floor accommodation is a three-piece shower room.
With two separate flats under one roof, independent access arrangements and one flat already occupied by a tenant, this property could make a particularly appealing addition to an investor's portfolio.
Approximate Potential Yield of 10.3% Situated on Bolton Road in Darwen, Lancashire, the property is conveniently positioned for access to Darwen town centre and its range of everyday shops, services and amenities.
