A compact top‑floor one-bedroom apartment with proven holiday‑let income, minutes from Bournemouth’s beaches. The flat benefits from large windows, a modern kitchen and recent upgrades to its electric heating, making it ready to rent short‑term or hold as a buy‑to‑let.
Financially this lot is offered at auction with a low guide price and long lease (117 years). It produces a net income in excess of £8,000 per annum and has low council tax (Band A). Buyers should allow for the auction costs (deposit and buyer’s premium) and the ongoing building costs: a service charge around £1,085pa and a small ground rent of £100pa.
Important practical points: heating is electric (room heaters), on‑street parking only, and the building sits within an area showing high crime and very high deprivation—factors that may affect long‑term capital growth and lettings profile. The flat’s 456 sq ft footprint and top‑floor location suit investors or someone seeking a coastal short‑stay bolt‑hole rather than a primary family home.
