Summary - 12 FLAT 4 PURBECK ROAD BOURNEMOUTH BH2 5EF
1 bed 1 bath Studio
High-yield studio near beach and transport — suited to income buyers.
Central Bournemouth town centre location, 0.5 miles to West Cliff beach
A compact studio apartment positioned in Bournemouth town centre, offered through a modern auction route and currently let at £575 pcm. Its central location places the West Cliff and beach within easy walking distance, supporting steady rental demand from students and short-term city visitors. The long lease (approx. 110 years remaining) and an indicated gross yield of around 14.4% make this a clear income-focused purchase.
The interior is a straightforward studio layout with a small contemporary kitchen and a shower room. The building is a mid‑Victorian terraced property with standard ceiling heights and period external character. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property has double glazing (installation date unknown).
Important purchase notes: this sale is by Modern Method of Auction. Bidders must pay a non‑refundable reservation fee (typically 4.5% of purchase price, minimum amount applies) and additional buyer’s fees. Full due diligence is advised; a buyer information pack is available but may not disclose everything. Completion is usually required within 56 days.
Known drawbacks for an investor: the area records very high crime levels and local deprivation indicators are elevated, which may affect tenant mix and management needs. The property appears to have cavity walls with no installed insulation (assumed), and main services are electric, which can mean higher running costs for occupants. Service charge information varies in the papers—budget for c.£2,200 pa—and additional leasehold/pack fees can apply.
