Compact, chain-free two-bed near university and train station — ideal buy-to-let..
Chain-free two-bedroom city centre apartment
A compact two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Leicester city centre, offered chain-free and with secure off-street parking. Situated close to the university and train station, this leasehold flat (103 years remaining) presents a straightforward let-or-live opportunity in a busy student-led neighbourhood.
Internally the apartment is well-presented with modern finishes: a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a bright lounge/diner with double glazing, and a four-piece bathroom. Electric storage heaters and double glazing keep running costs predictable but heating relies on electricity rather than gas, which may affect bills.
For an investor, proximity to the university and strong local rental demand are clear strengths; for an owner-occupier the location offers excellent transport links and city living convenience. Note the service charge and ground rent (circa £1,550 pa and £150 pa respectively) and that the area records very high crime levels, which could influence insurance costs, tenant selection and management needs.
This is a practical, low-maintenance city flat with immediate rental or resale potential, best suited to buy-to-let purchasers or first-time buyers seeking a central, compact home who are comfortable with electric heating and urban living realities.
