Both need minor cosmetic work (one more than the other, as you can see from the marketing photos), but both would be ideal for the professional rental market.

Though it is an area with a lot of old houses that would need checking thoroughly for damp, I think Manselton is a great place for buy-to-let investment - if you can get the right house for the right price!

The location is ideal for easy access to the City Centre, as well as the major thoroughfares in and out of Swansea, Fforestfach, and Morriston. 

Well-presented 2 bedroom properties in Manselton easily achieve &550pcm. If you were to put in a cheeky offer of &5,000 below the asking price, they would achieve yields of 7.7% (Phillip Street) and 8.25% (Manor Road) respectively.
