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
*ATTENTION INVESTORS - POTENTIAL GROSS YIELD IN EXCESS OF 10%* Presented to market as a portfolio investment, these three apartments - 16 and 18 Cross Street SK11 7PG, and 10a Old Mill Lane SK11 7PA - are all one bedroom and will be sold with tenants in situ, with a potential income £1885 pcm in total (the ground floor units currently £595pcm and the first floor unit £695pcm).
We are advised that the EPC rating for all three units is a grade 'C', and we are also advised all three are council tax band 'A' making them appealing options for any future tenants.
Located in walking distance to the town centre, they have historically provided a steady return for our client, who is now looking to retire while leaving his tenants in good hands, having enjoyed a fruitful relationship for several years.
Macclesfield itself currently benefits from a buoyant rental market, supported by major employers such as Astra Zeneca and the recent arrival of The Christie at Macclesfield Hospital as part of a significant investment into the hospital on the whole.
The town also benefits from excellent commuter links, being on mainline to Manchester (regular trains taking 22mins) and London (regular trains that can take as little as 1hr42mins).
Please note - Some photographs are from prior to the current tenants moving in, and while the landlord has advised he has been happy with the tenants treatment of the properties, internal inspection is suggested to satisfy any prospective purchaser of condition.
