No upward chain, immediate possession possible
A compact one-bedroom apartment in Leicester city centre, offered with no upward chain and immediate possession possible. The open-plan living area and contemporary kitchen make efficient use of the 432 sq ft, suitable for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking central location and low council tax (Band B). The building retains Victorian character externally and benefits from lift access and secure entry with intercom.
Practical running costs include an average annual service charge of £1,850 and ground rent of £234. The property is leasehold with approximately 102 years remaining — buyers should review lease terms and running costs carefully. The flat is small and best suited to someone seeking a compact city-base rather than long-term family accommodation.
Location is a major strength: walking distance to Leicester train station, bars, restaurants and amenities. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, which supports rental demand but can mean higher evening noise levels and a higher local crime rate. No flood risk and an EPC rating of B are practical positives.
