A compact two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Bedford, offered with a tenant in situ — designed for buy-to-let investment rather than owner-occupation. The open-plan kitchen/living space and contemporary finishes suit modern renters seeking central convenience within walking distance of shops, transport and leisure amenities.
Practical details will matter to a prospective investor: the flat is leasehold with c.115 years remaining, an average service charge of £1,500 pa and a small ground rent of £200 pa. Heating is electric via room heaters, which may increase running costs for tenants and influence letting appeal or EPC considerations.
At 528 sq ft the apartment is small but marketable to young professionals or students; the location in a bustling town-centre setting provides strong rental demand but the area records very high crime levels — an important factor for both rental pricing and insurance. The property was built in the 1980s and has double glazing, though exact installation dates and the boiler/EPC status are not provided.
Tenant in situ means immediate rental income but shows the unit is sold with occupation and associated tenancy obligations. Investors should factor in refurbishment potential, expected service costs, and local market yields when assessing this central, convenience-led opportunity.
