Summary - 19 - 23 FLAT 12 FITZROY STREET LONDON W1T 4BP
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Well-located investment or pied-à-terre with strong rental demand.
Compact one-bedroom approx. 371 sq ft — efficient city layout
A compact one-bedroom apartment in Sovereign House, Fitzrovia, offers straightforward central-London living with clear investment appeal. At approximately 371 sq ft, the flat suits a single buyer, professional sharer or landlord seeking easy-to-manage city accommodation close to major transport links.
The property benefits from a prime W1T address opposite a university residence, strong rental demand and reported average rent levels giving an indicative yield of around 4.2%. Practical features include lift access, video entry, wood flooring, fitted bedroom wardrobes and fast broadband and mobile signal — all helpful for tenants and short-notice lets.
There are important practical drawbacks to note: the apartment is leasehold (around 159 years remaining) with an average service charge of about £1,917 a year, and heating is by independent electric room heaters rather than gas or central heating. The building was constructed in the 1980s and has double glazing fitted before 2002, so some modernisation may be desirable. Local crime statistics are very high; buyers should consider security and insurance costs.
Overall this is a compact, well-located central-London flat that works well as a rental asset or a pied-à-terre. It rewards buyers who prioritise location and rental potential over internal space, and who accept service charges and electric heating as part of West End ownership.
