Set within desirable West Cliff, this two-bedroom apartment offers a ready-made holiday-let or rental opportunity close to Bournemouth’s award-winning beach. The flat is sold with vacant possession and comes with an allocated off-street parking space — a scarce practical perk in this coastal location. The open-plan living arrangement and compact 407 sq ft footprint make the layout easy to manage for short‑stay guests or long-term tenants.
Financially the property is presented as a turnkey holiday-let, with historic short‑let income reported and an illustrative gross yield around 8% (net yield c.6.6%). These figures point to strong rental demand driven by tourism and the West Cliff location; however, purchasers should verify historic performance and running costs before relying on projected returns.
Buyers should note several material facts: overall size is small, there is only one bathroom, and the wider local area shows high crime levels and relative deprivation. Tenure is not provided and must be confirmed. The building dates from the early 2000s with assumed timber‑frame construction; double glazing noted was installed before 2002 and the property is heated by a mains‑gas boiler and radiators. These details, plus any maintenance or compliance checks for short‑let use, should be investigated.
This apartment will suit investors seeking a turn‑key coastal income stream or purchasers wanting a compact seaside base. It delivers strong location appeal and low-management layout, balanced by limited internal space and local area considerations. Practical checks on tenure, safety certificates and verification of past income are recommended before offer.
