This two-double-bedroom first-floor flat sits 0.3 miles from Worcester city centre, offering low-maintenance urban living for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan lounge with a Juliet balcony brings in light and connects neatly to a compact fitted kitchen. Allocated off-street parking and a long lease (983 years) reduce running worries.
Practical details work in its favour: mains gas central heating, double glazing, and an anticipated rental yield of around 6.6% make it straightforward to run or let. The building is a modern purpose-built block (circa 1996–2002) with modest communal grounds and no private garden, suited to buyers wanting a central location rather than outdoor space.
Be realistic about constraints. The flat is small (approx. 501 sq ft) and the surrounding neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with a very high local crime rate — factors that will affect day-to-day feel and resale or letting potential. Ground rent is modest (£75) but the property is leasehold, so buyers should confirm service charges and management details.
For first-time buyers, this property offers an affordable route into the city with easy access to shops, buses and the mainline station. For investors, the long lease and nearby amenities support lettings, but consider the local area profile and rental market when assessing net returns.
