- Strong local rental demand and excellent transport links
- No private garden; small to average internal room sizes

This two-bedroom apartment is part of a new off‑plan development in central Leicester, aimed squarely at investors seeking modern, low‑maintenance city rentals. The scheme offers contemporary finishes, integrated appliances and light‑filled rooms designed to appeal to young professionals and renting families. The 999‑year lease and new‑build specification provide long lease security and minimal immediate maintenance concerns.
Location is a key strength: minutes from Leicester city centre, strong public transport links and proximity to parks and amenities support robust rental demand. The development’s compact apartments suit high‑turnover city lets and benefit from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical advantages for tenants.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is marketed for investors only and is leasehold with an average service charge of £1,565. The local area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which can affect tenant profiles and management needs. There is no private outdoor space and apartment interiors are modest in size, consistent with city‑centre flats.
Overall, this is a straightforward investment opportunity: modern specification and central location support rental returns, but purchasers must factor in service charges, local area challenges and letting strategy when assessing yield and capital growth potential.
