Newly remodelled kitchen and bathroom throughout

This first-floor, one-bedroom apartment offers a newly remodelled interior in a central Bournemouth location, a short walk from the beach and train station. The large bay-windowed lounge and fitted bedroom storage make it a comfortable low-maintenance home for a first-time buyer. Allocated off-street parking is a notable convenience in a central area.
Practical details are strong: an unusually long lease (964 years), estimated rental potential around £1,000 pcm, and an average annual service charge (approx. £2,880). The flat is a good option for buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in property with buy-to-let potential and straightforward upkeep.
There are material considerations to note. Heating is electric (storage heaters), the EPC is D, and electric heating can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The property sits in an area recorded as having high crime levels and higher local deprivation — factors to weigh for both owners and investors.
At about 528 sq ft, the apartment is city-sized rather than spacious; rooms are described as average for a town-centre flat. Leasehold terms appear generous, but prospective buyers should verify all lease documents, service charge details, and any additional fees (leasehold packs, permissions) before committing.
