Bright, newly renovated two-bedroom apartment presented in turn-key condition, aimed at buyers seeking immediate rental income or low-effort city living. The modern open-plan lounge/kitchen opens to a balcony with views up High Street toward Glasgow Cathedral. A planted enclosed courtyard provides a quiet, sheltered outdoor spot in a busy urban setting.
Positioned on Merchant City’s High Street, the flat sits steps from Strathclyde University and the Glasgow City Innovation District, supporting strong student and commuter demand. The building shows contemporary brick-and-glass styling and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for letting to students or professionals.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is average-sized (approx. 642 sq ft), has two bathrooms including an en suite, and is newly renovated so immediate maintenance needs should be low. An estimated rental value of £1,400 pcm suggests healthy yield potential for investors, but buyers should confirm local demand and let-down costs.
Material drawbacks are clear and should be factored into any offer. The surrounding area is classed as very deprived, which can affect long-term capital growth and tenant profiles. Council tax is noted as expensive, and the tenure is not specified; both could influence financing, affordability for owner-occupiers, and let viability. Buyers should verify tenure, service charges, and exact running costs before committing.
