1 bed 1 bath Flat
City-centre one-bedroom flat ideal for investors, close to universities and transport links.
Prime High Street city-centre location with shops and transport on the doorstep
One double bedroom flat in a modern (post-2012) building
Leasehold tenure — service charges/ground rent likely (amounts not provided)
Very high local crime levels; security improvements may be needed
Very slow broadband — limits appeal to remote workers/streaming
Heating via electric room heaters — higher running costs expected
Secondary glazing present but High Street noise likely at times
Area classified as deprived; strong student and professional rental demand
Situated on Southampton High Street, this one-bedroom flat is a compact, city-centre investment with immediate access to shops, transport and university demand. The building is modern (post-2012) and the flat offers a straightforward layout: double bedroom, living area, kitchen and bathroom. Its central position supports steady rental interest year-round.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with likely service charges and ground rent (amounts not provided). Broadband speeds are reported very slow and heating is by electric room heaters, which can lead to higher running costs and may reduce appeal for tenants who work from home. The area records very high crime levels and the High Street location can bring street noise despite secondary glazing.
For investors seeking a city-centre, lettable asset, this flat represents low-entry capital in a busy rental market close to two universities and major transport links. Short-term lettings or professional long-term tenants are realistic options, but factor in potential additional costs for improved broadband, heating upgrades and security measures to maximise rent and reduce voids.
Families or owner-occupiers looking for quiet suburban life should note the flat sits in a deprived, densely urban area with high crime statistics; it’s best suited to investors or those requiring immediate city-centre convenience.
