Summary - FERNMOUNT, 2 FLAT 8 SUFFOLK ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH2 5SX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, well-located flat offering immediate rental income potential for cash buyers.
- Ground-floor studio with high ceilings and lots of natural light
- Convenient town-centre location near Lower Bournemouth Gardens and beaches
- Estimated rental £750 per month (buy-to-let potential)
- Only 62 years remaining on lease; lenders may refuse mortgages
- Annual service charge £1,447; ground rent £200 per year
- Electric room heaters; EPC rating E (higher running costs likely)
- Off-street parking visible from the lounge/bedroom
- Slow broadband and local high-crime statistics to consider
Ground-floor studio with high ceilings and generous natural light, positioned a short walk from Lower Bournemouth Gardens and the town centre. The compact layout offers open-plan living with a modern fitted kitchen, built-in storage, and off-street parking visible from the lounge area — attributes that support straightforward short-term or long-let rental use.
This property trades on location and rental potential rather than long-term owner-occupation. At an estimated £750pcm rental, the flat could suit buy-to-let investors targeting students and professionals drawn to Bournemouth’s beaches, cafés and transport links. The accommodation is presented neutrally and needs minimal immediate cosmetic work.
Important lease and running-cost facts are material. Only 62 years remain on the lease, which will restrict mortgage options and may deter some buyers. Annual service charge and ground rent are £1,447 and £200 respectively; the EPC is E and heating is by electric room heaters — both factors to budget for when assessing returns. Broadband speeds are slow in the block and the local area records higher crime levels, which are relevant for tenant screening and insurance costs.
This unit is best considered by cash buyers or investors able to arrange specialist lending or to extend the lease. For the right purchaser it offers low council tax, central location and immediate rental potential, but the lease length and running costs are decisive factors to verify before purchase.
