This one-bedroom en-suite flat in Park Lane House is offered as a turnkey, fully tenanted investment with income from day one. Located on Stockton Road close to university campuses and city transport links, the property sits within a large student community and benefits from secure entry, concierge staff and an on-site management team that handles day-to-day running.
Financially the unit delivers a high gross yield (13.04%) at the asking price of £29,750. Annual income of £6,760 becomes a net £3,880 after an annual service charge of £2,880; the service charge covers maintenance and building management. A management pack and full income history are available for buyers wanting verification and detailed cashflow analysis.
Buyers should be clear about the material drawbacks: the property is leasehold, located in an area classed as deprived with a very high crime rate, and broadband speeds are slow. The flat is part of student-focused accommodation, so occupation and rental profile are geared to the academic calendar rather than long-term professional tenancies.
This is primarily an investor opportunity for buyers seeking a hands-off, high-yield asset in a city undergoing development. The secure communal facilities, proven 100% occupancy history and on-site management make this suitable for buyers wanting income without day-to-day landlord duties, but factor in the service charge and local social factors when assessing long-term capital prospects.
