Presented as an investment opportunity, this lower-ground two-bedroom apartment sits within a modern stone-clad development on the outskirts of Huddersfield town centre. The flat is currently let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy rolling monthly, producing a passing rent of £680pcm (last uplift July 2024), which equates to a gross yield of approximately 6.52% at the quoted price.
The accommodation is well presented with an open-plan living/kitchen, two double bedrooms (principal with en-suite) and a house bathroom. Sliding patio doors open to a rear patio with open-field views, and one allocated off-street parking space is provided to the front. The apartment benefits from integrated kitchen appliances and double glazing; the internal finish reduces immediate refurbishment requirements.
Practical points for investors: the lease is effectively long (999 years from 2004), annual service charge is £1,524.48 and there is no ground rent. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators; the property is lower-ground floor which may affect natural light. The wider area is classed as a private-renting neighbourhood with higher deprivation indicators, and the property is offered with a tenant in situ on a rolling tenancy.
Location is a strength for lettability — local shops, supermarkets and cafes are nearby, with good bus and rail links to Leeds and Manchester, and motorway access to the M62. The block is modern, secure and low-maintenance, making this a straightforward addition to a buy-to-let portfolio, though investors should factor service charges, current tenancy terms and electric heating into yield calculations.
