High-yield auction lot suited to investors targeting student rental demand.
City-centre studio in a modern building
A compact leasehold studio in the heart of Sheffield city centre, offered for sale at auction. The building is modern with communal facilities including a gym and gaming room, and it sits within a busy student-focused neighbourhood close to universities, shops and transport links.
The flat currently shows an annual rental income of £8,064 against a guide price of £39,000, producing a very high gross yield (about 20.7%). That makes the lot attractive to investors seeking income and short-term returns from student or city-centre lets.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is leasehold and offered at auction, with an annual service charge of £1,796.44 and ground rent of £300. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow and local crime levels are very high. These factors affect running costs, tenant appeal and management requirements.
This is a clear investment-spec opportunity for buyers prepared to manage a city-centre, student-market let or to carry out light repositioning. Check the legal pack and pricing assumptions carefully before bidding, and allow for management, voids and any works to improve connectivity and security.
