This fully furnished studio is offered as a tenanted, hands‑free PBSA investment in One London Road, close to Keele University and Royal Stoke University Hospital. The unit benefits from modern on‑site amenities — gym, communal lounges and roof terraces — which support high student demand and occupancy. Advertised net yields vary in the paperwork (8.6%–10.6%), with projected rents for 2025/26 shown at £8,492.
Investors should note the predictable ownership costs: a 125‑year lease remains, ground rent £350 pa and service charge approximately £1,642 pa. Broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent. The studio’s compact open‑plan layout and included furnishings make it straightforward to manage within a PBSA portfolio.
Material drawbacks include the property’s location in a deprived area with a high local crime score; these factors can affect long‑term capital growth and tenant mix beyond student cohorts. As a leasehold student unit within a larger development, there is limited scope for physical extension or conversion to private residential use without planning and management approval.
Overall this is a low‑management, income‑focused purchase aimed at investors seeking steady rental returns from a purpose‑built student asset. Buyers should factor in ongoing service charges, ground rent and the local area profile when assessing total return and exit options.
