Summary - Flat 9 Lodge Farm Gardens, Haxby Road YO31 8JS
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free one-bed with circa 6% yield, walking distance to hospital and city centre.
No onward chain — ready to complete
Offered chain-free, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment sits within easy walking distance of York Hospital and the city centre, making it a practical buy-to-let or an accessible first home. The open-plan living/dining/kitchen benefits from a south-facing Juliet balcony that brings good light into the main living space, while the double bedroom and three-piece bathroom complete a simple, low-maintenance layout.
The property is presented with a long lease (circa 233 years remaining from original term), an EPC rating of C and a service charge of £70pcm, and currently shows an indicative yield of around 6% — figures that will appeal to investors seeking steady income in a strong rental location near hospitals and universities. Council tax is low and broadband and mobile signals are strong in the area.
Buyers should note the apartment uses electric room heaters rather than a central heating system and the listed main fuel is electricity, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Ground rent is £445pa with periodic reviews (next in 2039), and local crime levels are reported as above average — both factors to weigh when assessing investment risk and insurance costs.
Overall, this apartment offers straightforward city-centre convenience, long lease security and rental potential, balanced by modest running-cost and neighbourhood-safety considerations. It will suit investors, first-time buyers seeking a compact city base, or anyone wanting a low-upkeep bolt-hole in central York.
