A compact, chain-free investment block of three one-bedroom leasehold apartments in Gloucester city centre, sold with tenants in situ and showing strong rental yield potential. Located on Westgate Street beside the Cathedral and city amenities, the block benefits from excellent transport links, busy footfall and easy access to shops, cafes and Gloucester Quays.
The three flats produce current rent of approximately £20,580 pa with potential rent of about £23,400 pa (circa 12% gross yield at the asking price). Each apartment is finished to a reasonable standard and separately metered; the site sits above commercial premises and attracts city-centre demand from students, professionals and migrant families.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the property is leasehold with 102 years remaining, an EPC band E, electric room heating throughout, and an annual service charge of £1,716.76. The immediate area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect tenant turnover and long-term capital growth timing.
This is a straightforward, ready-made income portfolio for an investor seeking immediate cashflow rather than a hands-off, long-term capital play. The block suits an investor prepared to manage tenanted flats in a busy city-centre location and consider modest upgrades to improve EPC and rents.
