Summary - 73, Royal Court Drive BL1 4AZ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Modern 2-bed apartment with parking and tenant in situ — ideal for buy-to-let.
Sold with tenant in situ — immediate rental income potential
A practical two-bedroom second-floor apartment offering straightforward rental potential in central Bolton. The property occupies a modern brick complex built c.1996–2002 and includes a lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating — essentials that appeal to private renters and buy-to-let investors.
The apartment is sold with a tenant in situ, which removes void risk for an incoming purchaser but also means viewings and vacant possession will depend on tenancy terms. Communal gardens and an allocated off-street parking space add everyday convenience for occupants. The block has an EPC B rating and very low local crime, which supports continued tenant demand.
Costs and tenure are clear: leasehold with 99 years remaining, service charge approximately £1,392 annually (£116 pcm) and ground rent £150 pa. The area is classified as very deprived, which typically keeps purchase prices and local rents lower — an important consideration for yield calculations. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent.
This apartment suits an investor seeking an immediate income-producing asset in Bolton or a first-time buyer comfortable purchasing with a sitting tenant. Key positives are recent-era construction, low crime and proximity to town-centre amenities; key negatives are the leasehold costs, the social-economic profile of the area and limited living space for buyers needing larger accommodation.
