Modern city-flat with parking and strong rental yield, close to train station..
Two-bedroom first-floor apartment with master en-suite
This two-bedroom first-floor apartment in Rutland House combines a modern interior with a striking Victorian exterior in Leicester city centre. The open-plan living space, integrated kitchen, and master en-suite suit professionals or couples seeking low-maintenance urban living. An allocated off-street parking space is a notable rarity for central flats.
Offered with tenants in situ producing a stated 9.2% yield, the property is well-suited to buy-to-let investors wanting immediate income; it can also be sold with vacant possession for owner-occupiers. Practical benefits include lift access, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and an EPC rating of C. Council Tax Band C keeps ongoing charges relatively affordable.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors: the building sits in a deprived, high-crime city-centre neighbourhood with a strong student presence and busy nightlife — expect noise and demand patterns driven by rental market cycles. The apartment is compact (small-to-medium rooms) and part of a mixed-use Victorian restoration project, so communal maintenance, leasehold terms, and potential future works should be checked.
Overall, Rutland House offers clear investment appeal through reliable rental demand, central transport links and rare parking, balanced against neighbourhood challenges and typical leasehold considerations. It will suit investors seeking yield or buyers wanting an accessible, modern city base who accept the urban environment and smaller living spaces.
