Summary - 16 COPINGER CLOSE CANTERBURY CT2 7DJ
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free first-floor flat near University — great rental history but short lease.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment, ready to occupy
A compact, light one-bedroom apartment close to the University of Kent, offered chain-free and ready to occupy. The flat is presented with fitted furniture and white goods, has a spacious lounge/diner, separate kitchen and a large double bedroom with built-in wardrobes. Nearby off-street parking and fast broadband make it practical for students or a single occupant.
For investors the flat has a solid rental track record (previously £840 pcm) and a below-average service charge (£900) with a very low ground rent (£10). Council tax is described as very cheap, which supports ongoing affordability for tenants. The property benefits from double glazing and gas central heating (boiler and radiators).
Important: the lease has only seven years remaining. This is a material issue — many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, which will limit purchase options to cash buyers or buyers able to arrange a specialist short-lease mortgage. The exterior shows mid‑century construction with scaffolding and some roof/window works indicated, so expect immediate exterior repairs or maintenance costs.
The surrounding area is a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood with good transport links into Canterbury and fast mobile signal. Crime levels are above average and the wider area is described as deprived, which buyers and investors should factor into rental expectations and long-term capital growth prospects.
