A ready-to-rent two-bedroom, two-bathroom top-floor apartment walking distance from Bournemouth Gardens and Pier. The open-plan living/dining room and modern fitted kitchen create a bright, flexible space that has achieved consistent 5-star holiday-let reviews. Furnishings are available for purchase, allowing an immediate let-ready handover.
This unit benefits from long leasehold security (197 years remaining), off-street ad-hoc permit parking for one car and secure bike storage. Service charge (£2,311pa) and ground rent (£300pa) are payable; council tax is low (Band B). The advertised gross yield is 7.2%, reflecting strong short‑term rental demand in this central coastal location.
Buyers should note material negatives: the building relies on electric room heaters and an unspecified electricity tariff, which can mean higher running costs for longer stays. Broadband speeds are average and the recorded local crime level is very high — factors that may affect long-term resident appeal. Parking is by ad-hoc permit only, so on-site parking is limited.
This apartment suits investors or buyers seeking a turn-key holiday-let near the seafront, and those willing to accept modest running costs and manage guest turnover. It also presents potential for owner-occupiers wanting easy access to Bournemouth’s amenities and beaches, provided they are comfortable with leasehold ownership and the local area profile.
