Summary - Empress Road, Luton LU3 2RE
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Long-lease one-bed near Leagrave station with gated parking — ideal starter or commuter buy.
Long lease (c.242 years) gives long-term security
This compact first-floor one-bedroom flat on Empress Road offers a practical entry into the Luton market or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. At about 352 sq ft the accommodation is efficiently arranged with a lounge/diner opening to a balcony, a double bedroom, a family bathroom and a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The property comes with one gated allocated parking space and a very long lease (c.242 years).
Location is a genuine strength: the flat is within walking distance of Leagrave mainline station and a wide range of local shops and services, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal supporting commuting or home working. Council tax is described as very low, which helps running costs. Heating is by a gas boiler and radiators, and standard modern finishes appear throughout.
Be frank about the area: local deprivation and a higher-than-average crime score mean buyers should factor in neighbourhood context when deciding. The building is a mid‑period apartment block with communal entrances and limited external amenity space. Additional leasehold costs and documentation (lease pack, management fees) may apply — purchasers should check these and verify all measurements and appliance conditions before committing.
For first-time buyers this flat is a compact, conveniently located starter home with long lease security and low running costs. For investors it offers commuter appeal and ready tenancy potential, but the neighbourhood profile and any service charges should be weighed into yield calculations.
