This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home or a strong buy-to-let opportunity near Glenfield Hospital and local shops. The open-plan living area with a Juliet balcony and integrated kitchen creates a bright, efficient living space. With 102 years remaining on the lease and chain-free sale, the property is straightforward to buy.
Practical running costs include electric storage heating and double glazing; the apartment benefits from allocated off-street parking and communal, tree-lined grounds. Service charge and ground rent are notable: annual service charge £1,553.92 and ground rent £100. Council tax sits at a low Band B.
Investors will appreciate the advertised 7.78% rental yield and convenient transport links (A46/M1 access, local buses). First-time buyers will find the compact layout and built-in storage practical, though the area scores as deprived with very high local crime levels—an important consideration for occupiers and tenants alike.
The building is modern (circa 2003–2006) with recent double glazing and a maintained communal entrance. The property requires no immediate major works noted, but electric heating and average broadband speeds may affect running costs and tenant appeal compared with gas-heated homes.
