Summary - Flat 33, Southey House, 33 Wine Street, BRISTOL BS1 2BQ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact one-bed in Southey House — high yield, chain free, sold at auction.
- Approximately 10% current rental yield as an AirB&B
A compact third-floor one-bedroom apartment in Southey House, in the heart of Bristol city centre, presented chain-free and sold at auction. The flat is small (431 sq ft) but efficiently laid out with an open-plan lounge/kitchen, generous double-bedroom area and a contemporary shower room. Large windows and lift access deliver natural light and easy entry, while city views and a central location put transport links, shops and Temple Meads within easy reach.
This lot is a clear fit for investors: it currently operates as an AirB&B delivering an approximate 10% rental yield and is offered with no onward chain. The 116-year lease, mains gas central heating and professionally managed communal areas support a hands-off, let-ready investment. Council tax is low, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the property carries no flood risk.
Buyers should note material considerations before bidding. The building sits in a very high crime area and the neighbourhood is a lively, cosmopolitan student/multicultural district — factors that can mean noise and higher tenant turnover. Annual service charges (£2,098) and ground rent (£175) are payable; the property is leasehold and will be sold via auction, which carries additional non-refundable fees and a required 5% deposit on exchange.
Overall, this is a compact, centrally located apartment that offers immediate rental income and straightforward management for a cash buyer or investor prepared for auction purchase terms. It’s suitable for investors seeking strong short-term yields or a first-time buyer wanting city living, provided they accept the brevity of space and the auction process risks.
