This compact one-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of Luton town centre, a short walk from shops, restaurants and Luton Airport Parkway. Offered chain-free and marketed to investors, the flat benefits from excellent transport links and strong local rental demand from commuters and students.
Internally the open-plan layout and contemporary kitchen offer straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation for a single occupant or professional tenant. The long lease (991 years) removes a common leasehold concern and broadband and mobile connectivity are strong — useful for commuters and renters.
There are material cost considerations: service charges average £1,774 per year and ground rent is £180 annually. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can push running costs higher than gas alternatives. The wider area is classified as very deprived, but crime levels are very low and the location close to the station and airport supports lettings.
For investors this is a ready-to-let, low-management opportunity that may benefit from modest cosmetic updating to maximise rental income. The apartment’s small size (435 sq ft) limits target tenants to singles or couples; refurbishment could improve yields but should be weighed against service charges and energy costs.
