Summary - Castle Street, Dover, Kent, CT16 CT16 1PW
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable period flat with immediate rental income and period character.
Tenant in situ with advertised yields around 7.5%
Set within a Georgian mid-terrace on Castle Street, this compact one-bedroom flat offers a pragmatic investment in central Dover. The building retains high ceilings and sash windows that give period character; the flat benefits from mains gas heating via boiler and radiators and fast mobile and broadband connectivity. A tenant is in situ delivering advertised rental yields around 7.5%, creating immediate income for a buyer.
Practical details: the property is leasehold with 89 years remaining, a service charge of £447 (below average) and a small ground rent of £100. At about 346 sq ft and a linear layout, the accommodation is small and best suited to single-occupancy rental or a first-step investment. The solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation and will show typical maintenance and retrofit needs for energy improvements.
Location brings both pros and cons. The flat sits close to town amenities, transport and schools, and is not at flood risk, but the wider area registers high deprivation and very high crime rates. These factors suppress resale demand and affect tenant profiles—important for prospective buy-to-let purchasers to consider alongside the current yield.
Summary for investors: an affordable entry-price opportunity with immediate rental income and period appeal, but plan for ongoing management in a challenging neighbourhood and potential refurbishment to improve energy performance and long-term capital growth.
