Summary - FLAT 4, PARKGATE, 240, CHURCH ROAD BS5 8AF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free, contemporary one-bed with parking — long lease and investment potential.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment with long 988-year lease
A compact, modern one-bedroom flat in a purpose-built block on Church Road, offered chain-free and with an exceptionally long lease (988 years). Built in 2014, the apartment has an open-plan living/kitchen layout, good natural light from large windows and an allocated off-street parking space — practical features that suit buy-to-let demand or a first home.
This location places residents close to shops, cafés, parks and regular bus routes into the city, and council tax sits at band A (very cheap), which helps running costs. Service charge and ground rent are clear: approximately £1,531 per year for maintenance and a small ground rent of £150 per year — important for budgeting and investment returns. EPC rating is to be confirmed.
For investors the property’s low running council tax, chain-free sale and secure parking are positives, but note the local area records higher-than-average crime and broader deprivation, which can affect rents and yields. The building appears well maintained, yet buyers should verify service arrangements and check the EPC and any management agreements.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-upfront-risk purchase with clear rental or owner-occupier appeal due to modern construction, long lease and good transport links. Prospective buyers are advised to commission their own surveys and check the service charge and management documentation during conveyancing.
