Summary - Bournemouth BH1 1AY
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Chain-free two-bed investment with balcony, residents parking and holiday-let permission.
Two double bedrooms and open-plan lounge/kitchen
Set on the second floor of a contemporary block in central Bournemouth, this well-presented two-double-bedroom flat has a proven track record as a holiday let and is sold with no forward chain. The light, open-plan living/kitchen area opens onto a balcony with leafy outlook; integrated appliances and modern finishes keep running costs and immediate works minimal. Residents parking and bicycle storage add practical value for guests or longer-stay renters.
Financially this apartment suits an investor or holiday-let operator: holiday lets are permitted, the property is chain free and comes with a long lease (about 131 years remaining). The flat totals around 580 sq ft, with efficient glazing and straightforward electric heating, so refurbishment to refresh the letting profile would be reasonably quick and low-impact.
Buyers should note the material running costs and local context. Service charges average approximately £2,765.52 per year and ground rent is £237 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can affect long-stay tenant energy costs. The building sits in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood with very high local crime statistics — factors that influence lettings profile and insurance premiums.
Overall this is a compact, city-centre investment with immediate holiday-let potential and easy management for an investor prepared for service charges, electric heating and the realities of a busy urban location.
