- Two double bedrooms; master with en-suite
This well-located two-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of Altolusso offers straightforward city-centre living and a ready-made rental income. At approximately 794 sq ft the open-plan living/kitchen is bright with large UPVC windows, modern wood-effect flooring and a fitted kitchen with integrated oven and induction hob. The master bedroom includes a tiled en-suite with a walk-in shower; the second bedroom is also a double. A separate storage cage and communal lift access add practical convenience.
Building amenities include 24-hour concierge, gated parking and private lock-up storage. The property is chain-free and sold with tenants in situ, making it immediately suitable for an investor seeking a turn-key tenancy. The lease has about 106 years remaining and the EPC is rated C.
Buyers should note material negatives: the building sits in a very deprived, high-crime city-centre neighbourhood that attracts a strong student population, which can mean noise and transient occupancy. Service charges are approximately £255 pcm (about £3,060 pa) and the property falls in Council Tax Band F, so running costs are above average. The storage cage is compact (1.6m x 1.6m x 2.2m).
Overall this apartment suits investors looking for a central, low-management flat with concierge and gated parking. Owner-occupiers should weigh the higher service costs and the busy, cosmopolitan student area against the convenience of city-centre living and secure building facilities.
