The Property

An established Lancaster student investment with tenants secured for the 2026/27 academic year, 21 Hope Street combines immediate rental income with a proven letting history. The property is let to three students at £129 per person, per week, over 48 weeks, generating a gross annual income of £18,576. Based on the asking price of £195,000, this represents an approximate gross yield of 9.5%.

The ground floor begins with an entrance vestibule opening into the hallway. Bedroom one is positioned at the front, while the lounge and dining room sits towards the rear, providing tenants with a shared space in which to relax, eat and spend time together. The adjoining kitchen is fitted with a range of storage units, an electric oven, gas hob, extractor and refrigeration. A useful cellar provides additional storage space and houses the gas and electricity meters.

On the first floor are a further bedroom and the bathroom, which includes a bath with thermostatic shower, wash basin, WC and washing machine. The accommodation continues to the second floor, where two additional rooms provide further flexibility; one is currently used as an office and storage room.

Outside, the enclosed rear yard includes a patio area and gated access to the rear road. Furniture and white goods are included, excluding tenants’ personal belongings, helping make this a straightforward addition to an existing Lancaster property portfolio.
