A compact, fully furnished one-bedroom apartment in Southsea offered with no onward chain and a sitting tenant producing £975pcm. The flat has been newly renovated to a contemporary standard with an open-plan living area, fitted Howden’s kitchen and a modern bathroom. The property includes a large cellar for storage and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for modern renters or short-term lets.
This is a clear investment proposition: leasehold with 89 years remaining plus 50% freehold, no service charges or ground rent, and immediate rental income. The apartment is small (approximately 359 sq ft), making it best suited to single professionals, students or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-management, furnished unit.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the lease has 89 years remaining which may affect some mortgage options; EPC rating E is below average and may require improvement; the location is in a deprived, student-oriented area with above-average crime statistics. The sale is cash purchase only and the property is offered with a tenant in situ, which limits vacant possession and buyer flexibility.
Overall, this is a turn-key rental asset in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with immediate income and low running costs, but with constraints for those needing long lease terms, a high EPC, or vacant possession.
