Summary - THE GREAT MEETING UNITARIAN CHAPEL, EAST BOND STREET LE1 4SX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact modern apartment ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Chain free with 109 years remaining on lease
A compact, contemporary one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Leicester city centre, offered chain free with 109 years remaining on the lease. The apartment sits in a modern mid-rise block with lift access, a Juliet balcony and a bright open-plan living/kitchen area. The layout suits a single occupant, couple or a buy-to-let investor seeking city-centre rental demand.
Practical strengths include double glazing, a modern shower room, fitted wardrobe in the bedroom area and communal community heating. The building’s location places shops, restaurants, transport links and student amenities within easy walking distance, supporting rental appeal and everyday convenience.
Known drawbacks are the apartment’s small overall size (approx. 348 sq ft), a relatively high annual service charge (£2,300) and ground rent (£260). The property sits in an area with very high recorded crime rates and within a multicultural student neighbourhood, factors buyers should factor into occupancy plans and insurance or lettings strategy. Broadband is average and there is no private outdoor garden space beyond the Juliet balcony.
This leasehold flat is best suited to first-time buyers wanting low-move-in hassle or landlords targeting student or city-centre tenants. It offers immediate, modern city living but requires realistic budgeting for service charges, community heating costs and considerations around area safety and tenant mix.
