A compact one-bedroom apartment in central Portsmouth, offered with no onward chain and a long lease (circa 117 years). At about 302 sq ft, the flat is neatly presented with a modern fitted galley kitchen, contemporary three-piece bathroom and neutral decoration throughout — ready for immediate rental or occupation.
Positioned steps from Portsmouth & Southsea station, the city centre, and the university, this flat suits investors targeting student or professional lettings. Lift access and communal building maintenance make it convenient for tenants; service charge and ground rent are set at £1,716 and £250 per year respectively.
Considerations are straightforward: the property is small and located in a very deprived area with a very high recorded crime level, which will influence rental profile and insurance/costs. Heating is electric with a boiler and radiators; buyers should note the annual service charge and Council Tax Band A figure when assessing yield.
Overall, this is a low-entry-price, low-maintenance city centre investment with immediate rental appeal, particularly for student or commuter markets, but requires acceptance of size and local-area challenges.
