First-floor one-bedroom apartment, approx 420 sq ft
A compact one-bedroom first-floor flat offering a straightforward entry into ownership or a buy-to-let income stream. The apartment has a practical open-plan lounge/diner, a fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom; UPVC double glazing and electric storage heaters keep the running costs modest. An allocated off-street parking space and communal grounds add convenience in a built-up Burton-on-Trent location.
The lease has been renewed to a 999-year term (from 29 September 2023) and the property is currently tenanted at £585 pcm, providing immediate rental income for an investor. Annual service charge is £1,086.22, paid monthly; council tax band A keeps ongoing costs low for an owner-occupier.
Know the drawbacks before viewing: the apartment is small at about 420 sq ft, heated by electric storage heaters, and lies in an area with above-average crime. The current tenant will remain unless notice is served, which can delay occupation for buyers who plan to live in the flat.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-maintenance option for a first-time buyer wanting a modest, affordable home, or for a landlord seeking an immediately income-producing, long-lease investment in town.
