This third-floor one-bedroom leasehold apartment in BD1 offers straightforward, low-maintenance city living with immediate rental income. Currently let to March 2026 at £495 pcm, it suits investors seeking an off-the-shelf let or a first-time buyer willing to take on a buy-to-let tenancy. The property has sealed-unit double glazing, electric panel radiators, EPC C and a Juliette balcony bringing light into the bedroom and living area.
Practical costs are clear: a low service charge (£54 pcm / £648 pa) and modest ground rent (£180 pa). The long lease (107 years) reduces immediate lease-renewal risk. The sale is by Modern Method of Auction — buyers should expect a 56-day completion, a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349 inc. VAT).
Important negatives are factual: the location records very high crime and sits in a very deprived area, which may affect resale and letting prospects. Heating is electric (room heaters/panel radiators) rather than gas, so running costs can be higher. The property is sold leasehold and at auction — bidders must read the legal pack and confirm mortgage suitability before bidding.
