A town-centre, chain-free one-bedroom flat offering strong rental return and hands-off entry for cash buyers. Set on the top floor, the useable space (around 579 sq ft) includes an open-plan living area, contemporary kitchen and modern bathroom — a straightforward, let-ready layout for investors.
The property is being sold with a tenant in situ and is advertised as suitable for cash purchasers only; currently marketed with a 10% yield. Lease length is exceptionally long at 981 years, providing long-term security. Annual outgoings include a service charge of approximately £2,469 and a ground rent of £225.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters and electricity is the main fuel (no communal gas), which may affect running costs. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent. The wider area is classified as deprived with comparatively high crime rates — factors that investors should weigh when assessing tenant demand and insurance costs.
Location is the principal strength: immediate access to Ashford town centre amenities and within walking distance of Ashford International station, supporting both commuter and short-term lets. The flat is modern-finished and constructed in the mid-2000s, so major structural works are unlikely, but prospective buyers should confirm service charge coverage and carry out usual tenancy and condition checks.
