Chain-free and compact, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment on Western Boulevard is aimed at first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking an affordable entry into Nottingham’s property market. The flat offers an open-plan lounge/kitchen, a double bedroom with built-in storage, and a modern shower room that also serves as a utility space with plumbing for a washing machine. The layout is efficient and low-maintenance, with communal lawned gardens to front and rear.
Practical ownership is supported by a long 115-year lease, very low ground rent, and a low council tax band, keeping ongoing costs modest. Good transport links and quick access to the M1 make commuting straightforward, while fast mobile signal and broadband options suit working-from-home needs. The property is offered chain free, simplifying and speeding up purchase for buyers.
Be realistic about the drawbacks: the overall property is small (approx. 316 sq ft) and sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime levels, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand. Flooding risk data indicates a medium risk, although there has been no recorded flooding in the past five years. The communal garden needs upkeep and some external elements are dated, so minor cosmetic work may be needed to maximise value.
For a buyer seeking a low-cost, low-effort home or an investor targeting affordable rentals, this apartment presents clear value drivers—low running costs, long lease and good connectivity—balanced by location-related risks and modest size. Early viewing recommended to assess fit and rental potential.
