Summary - ELGAR COURT 20 RAINBOW HILL WORCESTER WR3 8NF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
On-block single garage included for parking or storage
This first-floor one-bedroom apartment in WR3 offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Worcester living. The double bedroom has built-in storage, the living room is bright with plenty of natural light, and the contemporary kitchen is ready for everyday use. An on-block garage is a practical bonus for parking or storage.
The property suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors: the quoted rental potential of £800pcm gives an indicative yield of about 8.7%, and the exceptionally long lease (948 years) removes common leasehold concerns. Council tax is very low, helping keep running costs down.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, broadband speeds are slow locally, and recorded local crime levels are high. The building dates from the late 1970s and, while externally typical of that era, may present standard maintenance or aesthetic updates over time.
Overall this is a practical, well-located flat for someone seeking affordable access to Worcester city amenities or a straightforward rental investment. The apartment’s clear positives (garage, modern kitchen, long lease) are balanced by higher local crime and limited heating and broadband performance.
