FULL DESCRIPTION
Freehold Investment in Croydon: Four Self-Contained Flats, Fully Let at £64,200 a Year. Guide Price £750,000+.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A fully let freehold investment at 61 Coombe Road, Croydon CR0 1BR, offered at our Claridge's auction on 28 October 2026 with a guide price of £750,000+. The sale includes the entire freehold together with the leases of all four flats, so the buyer owns the whole building outright. The four flats produce £64,200 a year, a gross yield of approximately 8.6% at the guide price.
The neighbouring buildings, 57 and 59 Coombe Road, are offered in the same sale on the same terms. Together, the three buildings hold twelve flats producing £189,000 a year, which gives an investor the chance to buy a block of neighbouring freeholds.
THE PROPERTY
61 Coombe Road is a substantial semi-detached period building that has been converted into four self-contained flats over four floors: three with one bedroom and one with two. There is off-street parking on the front forecourt and a rear garden.
Because the freehold and all four leases are sold together, a buyer has flexibility. They can hold the building as a single investment, or keep the leases in place, which may help with future refinancing or the sale of individual flats. Buyers should take legal advice on the best structure for their plans.
