Summary - 7 Hardwick House, Heath Road, Holmewood S42 5PL
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free two-bed apartment with private parking — practical BTL or first home option.
Chain-free top-floor apartment with 109 years remaining on the lease
This top-floor two-bedroom apartment in Holmewood offers a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase ideal for buy-to-let investors or first-time buyers seeking a compact home. The open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge and skylight-packed upper-floor position create a bright living space, while off-street parking adds practical appeal in a popular residential location.
The property is chain-free and held on a long lease (109 years remaining), simplifying a quick sale or letting. Constructed post-2007 with double glazing, the building is modern and insulated; rooms are small-to-average in size, which keeps running and maintenance costs lower and supports rental demand for couples or single tenants.
Be clear about running costs and local risks: heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can raise energy bills for occupants. Crime in the immediate area is above average, so consider modest security measures and realistic rental assumptions. The apartment’s compact footprint presents easy refurbishment potential to increase rental yield or resale value, but larger families may find the space limiting.
Overall, this is a pragmatic investment or starter home: low council tax, private parking, and a contemporary build combine with a simple layout and long lease. Buyers should budget for energy running costs and any cosmetic updates to maximise returns or comfort.
