Situated on the 12th floor of Scholefield Tower, this chain-free two-bedroom flat offers a straightforward buy-to-let prospect in a high-demand rental area. The property is part-furnished with white goods included, enabling immediate occupation or letting without extensive staging. At 614 sq ft the flat is compact but practical for tenants seeking affordable city living.
The building was constructed in the 1950s–60s and the apartment shows mid-century finishes; modernization will improve energy efficiency and rental value. The EPC rating is E and the construction is a system-built form with no assumed cavity insulation—upgrades to heating, glazing or insulation should be budgeted. Service charge and ground rent are notable running costs: about £1,500pa service charge and £120pa ground rent.
Be candid: the local area scores high on crime and is classed as very deprived, which affects tenant profiles and resale comparables. However, the location sits within an established renting-families and student neighbourhood mix with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—attributes that support steady lettings. Flood risk is low.
This unit suits investors or buy-to-let buyers prepared to manage a long-leasehold asset and invest in essential improvements. Expect lower council tax but factor ongoing service charges, basic communal maintenance, and potential refurbishment costs into yield calculations.
