Affordable two-double-bedroom flat with strong rental yield and communal parking.
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment with balcony and far-reaching views
A top-floor, two-double-bedroom apartment offering practical space and far-reaching views from its balcony. The flat sits in a mid-century purpose-built block with generous communal lawns and ample resident parking, making it straightforward to manage for a landlord or a first-time buyer wanting low-maintenance outside space.
The layout is simple and functional: entrance hall with storage, large lounge/diner opening to a balcony, a fitted kitchen and family bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place; broadband and mobile signal are reported as good, supporting rental appeal and everyday living. The advertised 12% gross rental yield underlines its strength as a buy-to-let opportunity.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly. The flat is leasehold with around 88 years remaining and modest ground rent; additional leasehold fees or pack costs can apply. The building and communal areas are dated and the interior shows signs of wear — cosmetic updating will improve comfort and value. The neighbourhood has higher crime and area deprivation levels, which can affect resale and tenant demand.
This property suits first-time buyers looking for an affordable entry into ownership, or investors seeking a high-yield let who are prepared to manage a leasehold flat in a more challenging area. Viewings are recommended for those who prioritise rental return and low-maintenance communal grounds over a private garden or pristine finish.
