This two-bedroom apartment sits on Scotland Street in the city centre, offering a compact 679 sq ft layout suited to buy-to-let investors. Located in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood, it benefits from excellent transport, fast broadband and nearby amenities — cafes, bars, shops and leisure all within easy reach.
Sold with a tenant in situ, the property provides immediate rental income and turnkey ownership. The long lease (approx. 230 years remaining) and modest ground rent (£150) are investor-friendly. Off-street parking is a notable city-centre advantage and the building’s modern, late-1990s construction keeps maintenance needs comparatively low.
Practical considerations: heating is electric via room heaters and glazing dates from before 2002, so future buyers should factor potential upgrades to heating and energy efficiency into running costs. The area records higher-than-average crime rates, which can affect tenant demand and insurance costs; the Council Tax banding is affordable, however.
Overall this is a straightforward investment in a popular student and city-centre market. It suits investors seeking immediate income, and those open to modest future improvements to maximise returns.
