Property Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire a freehold investment property in a well-connected and popular residential area of Southend-on-Sea. This property is being sold with a tenant in situ, currently generating a rental income of £600 per calendar month, offering an immediate return for investors.

The property is held on a lease with approximately 58 years remaining; however, it is important to note that the sale includes the freehold, presenting a valuable long-term advantage and potential to enhance the asset’s value over time.

Investment Potential

This property represents a compelling investment opportunity, with established rental income from day one. The inclusion of the freehold provides additional control and future flexibility, including the possibility to extend the lease or restructure the tenure to maximise value. With continued demand for rental properties in the area, investors can benefit from both steady income and future capital growth.

Location

Situated in a convenient part of Southend-on-Sea, Chancellor Road offers excellent access to a wide range of local amenities. The property is within easy reach of local shops, supermarkets and the seafront, making it an attractive location for tenants.

Southend town centre is just a short distance away, offering an array of retail outlets, restaurants, and leisure facilities, as well as the popular seafront and pier. For commuters, there are excellent transport links, including nearby rail stations providing direct services into London, making the area highly desirable for working professionals.

Strong rental demand in the area
Excellent transport links into London
Close to local amenities and Southend seafront
