A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom apartment situated a few minutes’ walk from Blandford Forum town centre. The layout is practical: separate living room, small bedroom, basic kitchen and bathroom, and an allocated off-street parking space. Its central location places shops, doctors and bus links within easy reach, making it suited to town-centre living or rental occupation.
This property is offered with a short lease (59 years remaining) and requires updating and refurbishment throughout. The décor, kitchen and bathroom would benefit from replacement or modernisation, and prospective buyers should note lenders may refuse mortgages because of the limited lease term. Service charge and ground rent are modest, and council tax is very low.
Ideal buyers are investors seeking a low-entry buy-to-let project or first-time purchasers able to fund refurbishment and, if needed, a lease extension. Expect ongoing costs for renovation and be prepared to check mortgageability and lease-extension costs before committing. The apartment is chain-free, allowing a potentially quick sale for a buyer ready to proceed.
Drawbacks that affect value and financing are material: short lease length, small overall size (344 sq ft), higher local crime levels and slow broadband speeds. These factors reduce appeal to traditional mortgage buyers but also lower the purchase price and increase yield potential for a cash investor willing to refurbish and manage the tenancy.
