This compact one-bedroom flat in central Southampton offers genuine turnkey convenience. Built in 2019 and recently renovated, the open-plan living space and modern finishes mean it is ready to occupy or let immediately.
Located in a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood, the property suits buy-to-let investors or first-time buyers seeking city-centre proximity. Achievable rental income is estimated at around £1,000 pcm, and the flat is being offered chain free with a long lease (143 years remaining).
Buyers should note material practical drawbacks: the apartment is small (approx. 390 sqft), relies on electric room heaters, and broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow. The local area records very high crime levels, so purchasers should factor security and tenant considerations into decisions.
Positives include excellent mobile signal, low council tax, convenient access to wide-ranging shops, restaurants and transport links, and modest ground rent. Overall this is a low-maintenance, move-in-ready city flat with clear rental potential but with constraints on size, heating and connectivity.
