The property is currently let on an AST at £850 pcm, providing immediate revenue while presenting uplift potential after refurbishment.
The flat measures approximately 732 sq ft and benefits from a 179-year lease, gated communal parking, double glazing and electric heating. Accommodation includes a large lounge with Juliette balcony, separate fitted kitchen, two generous bedrooms and a white bathroom suite. Communal grounds are well maintained and the block was constructed in the late 1980s.
The apartment does require renovation and cosmetic updating throughout; TLC would allow higher rental returns in this student-and-professional neighbourhood. Note the property uses electric storage heaters and some wall-mounted electric heaters, which can influence running costs. Crime levels are recorded as high locally, so factor in management and security considerations for lettings.
Overall this is a practical investment with secure parking, long lease and strong location fundamentals close to university and local amenities. It suits a landlord or investor comfortable scheduling works and managing tenant-related considerations to unlock rental growth.
