1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright, compact apartment with strong rental demand near beach and leisure hubs.

105 years remaining on lease — long but leasehold tenure
Service charge approx £1,567.44 per year; ground rent £100
Electric room heating; likely higher energy costs
Double glazing pre-2002; cavity walls assumed uninsulated
Small studio layout; modernization and refurbishment potential
Area has high crime statistics and higher deprivation levels
Broadband speeds slow locally despite excellent mobile signal
Set on Terrace Road opposite the Hilton and a short walk from Bournemouth Pier, this chain-free studio offers immediate rental potential in a busy seaside location. The apartment benefits from double-aspect windows, a separate kitchen and shower room, and double glazing (installed before 2002). With 105 years remaining on the lease and straightforward running costs, it suits investors targeting holiday or student lets.
Be frank about maintenance and running costs: the building has cavity walls with no added insulation (assumed) and the flat uses electric room heaters, which can mean higher energy bills. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow; mobile signal is excellent. Service charge averages £1,567.44 per year and ground rent is £100 annually — factor these into yield calculations.
The accommodation is small but bright and will reward modest refurbishment and modernising of the kitchen and shower room. Nearby amenities, theatres, shops and transport links support strong tenant demand year-round, particularly from students and short-stay visitors. Council Tax is very cheap, further supporting lettable income.
Important negatives: the local area records high crime and overall deprivation metrics are elevated, which can affect insurance and lettings strategy. Buyers should verify current service charge accounts and building condition, and confirm broadband options prior to purchase.
