Summary - 52 Chronicle House, Commonhall Street CH1 2AB
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Low-entry investment in Chester’s student core with on-site amenities and letting appeal..
Purpose-built student studio, sold fully furnished
A compact, purpose-built studio in Chronicle House, positioned in the heart of Chester’s student hotspot. The apartment is sold fully furnished and benefits from on-site facilities including a gym, cinema room, games room and secure cycle storage — features that appeal strongly to student tenants and support high occupancy.
This is presented as a buy-to-let investment with strong headline returns: advertised gross rent and yield figures suggest a high return for the price paid. The building was constructed c.2003–2006 and has double glazing (install date unknown); heating is by electric room heaters and main fuel is electricity, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes.
Important risk factors: the local area is classified as deprived with very high crime levels and a high proportion of students and migrant families. Tenure is not specified and should be confirmed before purchase. The flat is small (approx. 323 sq ft) and compact in layout — ideal for single student occupancy but not suitable as a family home.
Suitable for investors targeting the student market who want a low-entry-price asset with immediate letting potential. Financial claims should be independently verified; purchasers must confirm tenure, service charges, management arrangements, and the practical costs of electric heating and on-site service provision before committing.
