This one-bedroom apartment in Repton Court is an off-plan new-build aimed squarely at investors seeking city-centre rental stock. The scheme offers contemporary open-plan layouts, integrated kitchens, balconies and high-spec finishes designed to attract tenants in a busy rental market. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support city-living needs.
Estimated yields are promoted up to 7% and the development is marketed on strong local tenant demand, proximity to universities, hospitals and the city centre, and nearby green/waterside amenities. The long lease (999 years) reduces long-term leasehold concerns and the block is low-maintenance by design.
Buyers should weigh genuine location and market strengths against clear material negatives. The immediate area scores as deprived with a high local crime level and a medium flood risk; these factors can affect insurance costs, letting times and tenant profiles. Service charges are noted at £1,023 (average) — confirm frequency and inclusions before purchase.
As an off-plan investment, practical risks include completion delays, final specification changes and uncertainty over actual room sizes and views. This unit suits investors comfortable with development risk who prioritise rental income and capital growth potential rather than owner-occupation.
