Summary - 16 Priory Heights, Church Street LU5 4RQ
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable central apartment with long lease and good transport access.
Chain free third-floor flat with central Dunstable location
Set on the third floor of a purpose-built block in central Dunstable, this three-bedroom leasehold flat offers affordable town-centre living with clear rental or owner-occupier appeal. The open-plan living area and fitted kitchen create a bright, practical living space, and three double bedrooms are unusual at this price point for a centrally located flat. Double glazing and relatively recent construction mean low immediate maintenance for the individual flat.
Practical considerations are clear: the long lease (104 years) is positive, but the combined service charge and ground rent are high at £3,320 per year and will affect running costs and rental yield. Heating is via electric storage heaters and electricity is the main fuel, so running costs may be higher than gas-heated properties. There is no private garden; outdoor space is limited to communal areas and on-street or communal parking.
This property suits first-time buyers seeking an inexpensive route into a town-centre home and buy-to-let investors looking for a lettable three-bedroom in easy reach of local amenities and transport. The building’s communal condition and service-charge level should be checked during due diligence, and buyers planning longer-term ownership should factor potential future communal works into budgeting.
Chain free and centrally located, the flat is immediate to view and occupy, offering straightforward scope to personalise the interior while benefitting from a long lease and good local services. Be realistic about running costs and communal management when comparing this to houses or lower-service-charge flats.
