Summary - Portland Road, Worthing BN11 1QG
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact first-floor investment near station and seafront, no forward chain.
Long lease — approximately 113 years remaining
A compact, purpose-ready conversion in central Worthing presented for buy-to-let investors. This first-floor one-bedroom flat sits in a period terrace near the station, shops, restaurants and the seafront, offering straightforward tenant appeal and immediate let-ready features.
The flat benefits from a long lease (circa 113 years), no forward chain and recent electrical rewiring. A bay-fronted living room with feature fireplace and a refitted kitchen with integrated appliances add character and reduce immediate maintenance work. Council Tax Band A and a low annual ground rent help running costs.
Notable investor considerations: the apartment is small (approx. 383 sq ft) and heated by electric storage heaters; the EPC is D. Service/maintenance charges average around £1,662.50 per year and the property sits in a high-crime, relatively deprived area — factors that can affect rental demand, tenancy profiles and insurance costs. The building has solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) which may limit thermal performance without further works.
This is a straightforward purchase for a landlord seeking central Worthing stock with minimal initial refurbishment. The combination of long lease, tidy presentation and town-centre location suits short-term lets to professionals or longer lets to local workers, but budget for energy improvement and factor area influences into rental assumptions.
