A compact one-bedroom flat in the heart of Strood ideal for buy-to-let investors seeking strong rental yield. The property occupies the second floor of a mid-20th century brick block within walking distance of the town centre and Strood railway station, making it attractive to commuters and private renters.
The flat is offered chain free and will be sold at a Modern Auction (buyer’s fees apply; subject to an undisclosed reserve). Practical details: leasehold with approximately 82 years remaining, service charge c. £936 pa and ground rent £10. Heating is by electric room heaters and windows are double glazed (installation date unknown).
Notable negatives are candid: the local area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which can affect tenant demand and insurance costs. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and will likely need ongoing maintenance; the electric heating and relatively short lease length will be important considerations for longer-term investors or those planning refurbishment.
For a buyer prepared to manage the lease and carry modest upgrades, this property offers a straightforward, centrally located rental opportunity with good access to transport and local amenities. All measurements and legal details should be independently verified by your solicitor before bidding.
