Summary - 185 THE STREET RUSTINGTON LITTLEHAMPTON BN16 3DN
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Top-floor two-bed in central Rustington — long lease and immediate rental income.
Long 140-year lease provides long-term security
A straightforward buy-to-let positioned in central Rustington, this top-floor two-bedroom flat offers immediate rental income and a long lease for security. Currently let at £1,200 pcm on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy, the apartment produces a net yield around 7.4%, making it attractive to investors seeking hands-off, income-producing stock.
The flat is compact but well maintained, with a south-facing balcony, separate kitchen and living room. The block benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002) and modest service charges, supporting low ongoing upkeep. The 140-year lease and central location—close to shops, transport and amenities—add to its rental appeal and tenant demand.
There are some structural and running-cost considerations to note. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building is a system-built construction assumed to have no cavity insulation, which may affect energy efficiency and long-term running costs. Service charge and ground rent apply; council tax is Band B.
This is best suited to investors seeking a stable, long-lease asset with immediate yield rather than buyers wanting a private garden or substantial refurbishment project. The property’s size (c. 672 sq ft) and top-floor situation deliver a practical rental layout and external amenity via the balcony, but limited outdoor/private space and potential energy-efficiency upgrades should be factored into valuations.
