4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Knowsley Road, Bootle L20

228 & 232 Knowsley Road – Investment Property Overview

232 Knowsley Road
During 2020–2021, the property was converted from a ground floor retail unit and 2-bedroom apartment into 4 self-contained studio flats and a utility room. Flats 1 and 2 are located on the ground floor, with Flats 3 and 4 on the first floor.

Flat 1 – Studio flat: 20 sq m
Flat 2 – Studio flat: 15 sq m
Flat 3 – Studio flat: 15 sq m
Flat 4 – Studio flat: 20 sq m

228 Knowsley Road
During the same period, the ground floor retail unit was converted into a 2-bedroom flat, and the upper floor was converted into 3 self-contained studio flats. Flat 2 is arranged as a maisonette.

Flat 1 – 2-bedroom flat: 40 sq m
Flat 2 – Studio flat (maisonette): 21 sq m
Flat 3 – Studio flat: 17 sq m
Flat 4 – Studio flat: 15 sq m

Utilities
Both blocks run entirely on electricity - there is no gas supply to either property. The blocks benefit from 10 separate electricity meters in total. 2 meters serve the landlord's communal areas, supporting the fire alarm system and communal lighting. The remaining 8 meters serve each individual flat separately.

Property Structure & Title
228 and 232 Knowsley Road are two attached but separately arranged blocks, both held under a single title deed. This presents a clean and straightforward acquisition of the entire portfolio under one title, making it an attractive opportunity for investors looking for a multi-unit block without the complexity of multiple titles.

Rental Income
The portfolio currently generates a rental income of £48,000 per annum, providing an established and immediate return for any incoming investor. With 8 individual flats across both blocks, each metered and self-contained, the income stream is well spread across multiple tenancies, reducing void risk.
