If you're a property investor on the hunt for new assets, you should have Walsall and Wolverhampton firmly on your radar. Rents in the former rose by a healthy 8.1% year-on-year to reach an average of £912 in June 2026, while Wolverhampton saw even stronger growth: rents climbed 11.3% over the same period to reach £938.
Auction properties, such as those on offer on Wednesday 26th August, offer a great opportunity to snap up assets with strong rental potential – and the chance to add value along the way. Here are three lots in Walsall and Wolverhampton for you to take a closer look at.
A must-see period property
Positioned at the end of a row of terraces, 29 Persehouse Street in Walsall is a real find. On the ground floor is a lounge, dining room and kitchen, as well as a handy breakfast room, W.C. and storage area. Up the stairs are three good-sized bedrooms, a bathroom and a box room, which could be reimagined into a dressing room or playroom for children.
Auctioneer Chris Edwards said: “We highly recommend coming to see this property in person so that its potential can be fully appreciated. The modest frontage of this terrace is deceptive – step through the door and you will be surprised by the generosity of its accommodation, which includes a mature rear garden. Don’t miss your chance to bid on this!”

Terrace in need of TLC

In addition to three good-sized bedrooms, the property also boasts a rear garden, which could be reimagined into a serene green space.
Commenting on the property, Chris Edwards said: “Terraces like this one can be fantastic assets for landlords. In this case, 113 Owen Road is perfectly positioned to appeal to renters, with easy access to key amenities. In need of modernisation throughout, this is a project property that would suit a keen-eyed investor hunting for a value-add property.”

This could make it a wise investment for someone on the lookout for new assets. It would have plenty of family appeal on the rental market – all three bedrooms are a good size and the enclosed garden to the rear of the house is an excellent space for outdoor play.”
