This bright two-bedroom apartment in Hiltingbury offers practical, ready-to-live-in accommodation with notable income potential. The living/dining room opens through French doors onto a south-facing balcony with views across playing fields, creating a calm, light-filled main space. Two double bedrooms both have en-suite facilities which is rare at this price and suits sharers or long-stay guests.
Practical strengths include two allocated off-street parking spaces, vacant possession and a long lease (121 years). The apartment sits in a modern block built c.2003–2006, has double glazing and an EPC rating of C, making it energy-competent for a flat of this era. It has a proven rental history (current gross rent £14,400, c.5.7% yield before other costs), so buyers can move in or let immediately.
Be aware of running costs and specification: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, the service charge is about £1,640 pa and ground rent £240 pa. The fitted kitchen is modern but compact and some fixtures were photographed before the latest tenancy. Broadband speeds are average for the area — suitable for everyday use but not optimised for heavy remote-working households.
Location is a principal selling point: a highly sought-after part of Chandler’s Ford close to shops, good schools (including Outstanding and Good rated primaries), public transport links and fast road access to the M3. For first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home or investors wanting a straightforward let with immediate income, this flat presents a solid, transparent proposition.
