Summary - 52 GUILDFORD STREET LUTON LU1 2PA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable auction opportunity close to stations with strong rental appeal.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and large windows
A well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of Balfour House, offering high ceilings, large windows and a bright, open living area. The modern kitchen includes fitted units and appliances; a fridge/freezer and washing machine are included. The building has an elevator for easy access.
This property is offered with a 103-year lease and a service charge of £2,400 pa. It is currently tenanted, providing immediate rental income, but can be sold with vacant possession for buyers who want to move in. The flat is being sold at auction under the Modern Method of Auction — purchasers should be aware of the non-refundable reservation fee and the auction completion timetable.
Location is a core strength: a short walk to Luton town centre and Luton train station, with quick M1 access and multiple local amenities nearby. The neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area, which supports strong rental demand but reflects a very deprived local area profile. Crime is recorded as very low and transport and broadband links are excellent.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home and investors targeting reliable rental demand close to transport links. Be clear on the leasehold status, service charge level and the auction process before bidding.
