- 999‑year lease reduces long‑lease risk
- Average service charge £1,477 (budget accordingly)

This off‑plan, new‑build one‑bed apartment sits in a central Leeds location minutes from the city centre, Park Square and the University of Leeds. The specification promises contemporary, high‑quality finishes: handleless grey kitchens, integrated appliances, wood‑effect flooring and recessed downlights suited to modern urban lets.
The development addresses clear investor demand: a dense rental market, proximity to transport and amenities, and strong appeal to students and young professionals. The 999‑year lease removes short‑lease risk, and the property’s central siting supports steady rental interest and long‑term capital growth potential.
Buyers should note material considerations: this is an investor‑only, leasehold off‑plan sale with an average service charge of £1,477. The advertised neighbourhood has a very high recorded crime level and the location is classed as a cosmopolitan student area, which may affect tenant mix and management needs. There is no private outdoor space shown and internal floor area is not provided, so net yields will depend on confirmed apartment size and management costs.
Recommended next steps for investors are to confirm exact floor area, anticipated completion and rental forecasts, request formal service charge and sinking fund schedules, and factor building management and local crime context into yield calculations. For the right investor looking for city‑centre exposure and rental demand, this apartment offers a straightforward, modern letting proposition with identifiable operating considerations.
