A ground-floor two-bedroom flat in the heart of Derby city centre, offered with vacant possession and ready for immediate occupation or letting. The 640 sq ft apartment sits in a modern redbrick block and benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing and a fitted kitchen-diner. The layout includes a lounge with a feature gas fire, bathroom with electric shower over the bath, separate WC and two useful storage cupboards in the hallway.
This property will appeal to first-time buyers seeking an affordable central base or investors looking for a straightforward buy-to-let close to local shops, transport and universities. It is sold leasehold with around 92 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,818 and a ground rent of £10 — important running costs to factor into affordability or rental yields.
Practical positives include communal gardens, residents’ permit car parking and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. The flat is vacant so completion can be quick, but parts of the interior show wear: carpets are worn, there are damp marks and some dated fixtures that will need modernisation to maximise comfort or rental income.
Location is convenient for local schools, shops and city amenities, but the immediate area is classified as deprived and records higher crime levels; buyers should consider this when assessing long-term suitability. A viewing is essential to judge space, condition and potential improvements for resale or rental readiness.
