Sold STCSouth Shields
Imeary Street, South Shields, NE33
Two bedrooms. Ground floor convenience. Strong rental appeal. And the flexibility to buy with a tenant in place or take vacant possession.
If you're looking for a property that offers affordability, flexibility and income potential, this well-positioned two-bedroom ground floor flat on Imeary Street, South Shields, NE33 4EL deserves your attention.
Currently producing £530 per calendar month (£6,360 per annum) in rental income, the property offers an immediate opportunity for an investor to acquire a tenanted asset — while buyers looking for their own home have the option to purchase with vacant possession.
WHY THIS PROPERTY STANDS OUT
Two-bedroom accommodation — ideal for a first-time buyer, couple, small family or rental market
Ground floor position — convenient, accessible and particularly attractive to a broad tenant demographic
Currently tenanted at £530 pcm — providing an immediate income stream for an investor
Option to purchase tenanted or with vacant possession — giving buyers genuine flexibility
Popular South Shields location — close to local amenities, shops, transport links and the town centre
Excellent transport connectivity — Chichester Metro station is around half a kilometre away, with bus stops virtually on the doorstep.
Close to everyday amenities — Aldi and other food stores are within easy walking distance.
Close to South Shields town centre and the coast — adding lifestyle appeal for owner-occupiers and tenant demand
Two-bedroom configuration — offering considerably more flexibility than a typical one-bedroom investment
💷 AN INVESTMENT THAT STARTS WORKING FROM DAY ONE
For the investor, this is a straightforward proposition.
With a tenant already paying £530 per month, that's £6,360 of scheduled annual rent, subject of course to the terms of the existing tenancy.
There is no need to start from an empty property and immediately search for a tenant if purchased with the tenancy in place. Instead, you can acquire an income-producing property from completion.
And with other two-bedroom properties on Imeary Street currently being marketed for around £650–£710 pcm, there may also be scope for a future investor to review the rental position, subject to the property's condition, tenancy terms and applicable legislation.
🔑 OR MAKE IT YOUR OWN
For the first-time buyer, the appeal is equally compelling.
A two-bedroom ground floor flat can provide an affordable way to take that important first step onto the property ladder, without taking on the cost and maintenance associated with a larger house.
The second bedroom could become:
A home office. A guest room. A nursery. A dressing room. Or simply valuable extra space.
And because vacant possession is available, an owner-occupier can potentially make the property their own from day one.
📍 LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Imeary Street is particularly well placed for convenient day-to-day living.
Local shops and supermarkets are close by, while Chichester Metro station is approximately 497 metres away, providing access to the wider Tyne & Wear Metro network. Bus stops are also located just metres from the postcode.
The property is also within easy reach of South Shields town centre, local amenities and the coast, combining practical convenience with the lifestyle appeal that makes South Shields such an attractive place to live.
THE FLEXIBILITY IS THE REAL ADVANTAGE
Buy it tenanted. Keep the rental income flowing.
Or buy it vacant. Move in and make it home.
That flexibility makes this an appealing proposition whether you're building your first investment portfolio or searching for an affordable first home.
⭐ IDEAL FOR
FIRST-TIME BUYERS
A practical two-bedroom home with excellent transport and amenities nearby, offering a realistic route onto the property ladder.
BUY-TO-LET INVESTORS
An existing tenant, £530 pcm rental income and a location with established tenant appeal make this an attractive addition to a rental portfolio.
PORTFOLIO BUILDERS
A relatively straightforward two-bedroom asset with the potential to benefit from future rental optimisation, subject to market conditions and the existing tenancy.
OWNER-OCCUPIERS LOOKING FOR FLEXIBILITY
The option of vacant possession means buyers aren't restricted to purchasing solely as an investment.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Whether you're buying your first home or your next investment, this is a property that gives you options.
A two-bedroom ground floor flat, a convenient South Shields location, existing rental income of £530 pcm, and the choice of tenanted purchase or vacant possession combine to create an opportunity that is both practical and potentially rewarding.
Properties offering this level of flexibility are worth a closer look.
Early viewing is highly recommended.
