- Tenure: leasehold; additional leasehold fees likely

A one-bedroom, 517 sq ft apartment near Hull Old Town offering clear rental potential for investors and buy-to-let landlords. The open-plan living and kitchen area gets good natural light and has a small balcony; the bedroom is a double with built-in storage potential. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting modern tenant needs.
The building dates from 2003–2006 and benefits from double glazing; primary heating is electric room heaters and the property runs off mains electricity. The flat requires renovation throughout — the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from modernisation to increase rental income or resale value. The tenure is leasehold; buyers should budget for any lease-related fees and request full lease details.
Material negatives to weigh: the area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels and a medium flood risk. These factors will affect tenant profiles, insurance costs and long-term capital growth. On the positive side, the location is close to shops, cafes, transport links and education hubs, which helps maintain consistent rental demand from students and professionals.
This apartment suits a hands-on investor or a professional seeking an affordable city base who is prepared to refurbish. A modest refurbishment focusing on kitchen, bathroom and heating upgrades could materially improve rental yield and appeal in this central, well-connected spot.
