Hands-off student investment; on-site gym, laundry, concierge included
This fourth-floor studio in the City Point student development offers a hands-off investment with an existing academic-year tenancy. The unit is furnished, includes an en suite shower room and access to shared kitchen, living areas, on-site gym, laundry and concierge — amenities that appeal to student lettings and reduce management time.
Financially the flat is straightforward: a 250-year lease, current annual rent of £5,740 (inclusive of bills) and predictable charges — service charge £2,350.88 and ground rent £300 pa. Council Tax Band A and an EPC C are noted; heating is by electric room heaters.
Important risks are clear and material. The building sits in an area classed as very deprived with very high crime rates and very slow broadband speeds — factors that can affect tenant demand and long-term capital growth. High service charges relative to rent reduce net yield; prospective buyers should model net income carefully.
This is best suited to an investor seeking a low-effort, short-term student-let income stream rather than a long-term capital-growth play. Viewings and independent checks (including broadband, safety certificates and service charge ledger) are recommended before purchase.
