Local area: high crime rate and very deprived — affects demand
Set on Clacton High Street, this chain-free, vacant two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers immediate rental potential for investors. The property includes an allocated off-street parking space and a private roof garden — useful extras in a town-centre flat. The layout is pragmatic: two bedrooms, a modern-fitted kitchen and a single bathroom within approximately 636 sq ft.
Practical aspects to note: heating is by electric storage heaters and the building dates from 1930–1949 with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation). The apartment is leasehold with about 89 years remaining; ground rent is low at £100 per year. EPC is to be confirmed. These factors affect running costs, mortgage options, and long-term investment planning.
The location provides easy access to Clacton’s retail, leisure and transport links, supporting a typical rental estimate of around £900 pcm. However, the local area records higher-than-average crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which will influence tenant demand and yields. The property is best suited to a buy-to-let purchaser prepared to manage electric-heating running costs and potential fabric improvements (insulation, modern heating) over time.
Viewings are straightforward — the flat is vacant and keys are available. For an investor seeking a low-entry seaside-town let with convenient amenities and parking, this presents a clear, immediately lettable opportunity, provided the buyer factors in leasehold limitations and the need for energy-efficiency upgrades.
