A compact, modern two-bedroom apartment in Lumen Court, offered chain-free and priced to attract buy-to-let buyers or first-time purchasers seeking city-centre access. The open-plan kitchen/lounge and balcony provide a bright, sociable living space; the principal bedroom includes an en-suite for added rental appeal or everyday convenience. The building is recent (2007–2011) and benefits from double glazing and an EPC C rating.
Positioned within easy walking distance of Preston city centre and public transport links, the flat suits investors targeting the local student and rental market. The property’s layout—two double bedrooms and two bathrooms—offers flexible tenant options (couples, sharers, or a small family) and should achieve steady demand given its location in a cosmopolitan, well-served neighbourhood.
Buyers should note material considerations: the flat is leasehold, heating is electric room heaters (no central gas), and the area records very high crime levels and high deprivation—factors that may influence insurance, tenant mix, and management costs. There’s likely communal outdoor space rather than a private garden. Despite these drawbacks, the low asking price and council tax band B help the numbers stack up for a hands-on investor prepared for active letting or moderate cosmetic updating.
Viewing is advised for those assessing rental yield or first-home affordability. The property suits an investor wanting a city-centre let with minimal structural risk and a purchaser who accepts the management responsibilities that come with a leasehold flat in a busy urban area.
