Summary - Flat 7, 97 St. Michaels Road BH2 5DS
3 bed 2 bath Apartment
Moments from the beach with holiday-let permission and ready-to-rent interiors.
Allocated off-street parking space to the front of the building
This recently renovated three-bedroom apartment on West Cliff offers immediate rental or holiday-let potential just moments from Bournemouth’s award-winning sandy beaches. The open-plan living and dining room and modern quartz-fitted kitchen create a bright, low-maintenance living space attractive to short-stay guests or long-term tenants. The principal bedroom includes a luxury en suite; two further double bedrooms provide flexible sleeping or workspace.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, a secure coded entry, and a long lease of approximately 120 years. Service charge is around £1,300 per annum with ground rent reported as included; utilities run on mains gas with an updated boiler. The flat was comprehensively refurbished in 2022 and presents in contemporary neutral décor, minimising immediate upkeep or refurbishment costs.
Buyers should weigh the clear income prospects against local social and infrastructure factors. The area is classified as deprived with a very high crime rate reported; this may affect tenant profiles, insurance costs and some buyer preferences. Broadband speeds are average, and the property is leasehold — prospective purchasers should verify lease terms and any future service charge obligations.
For investors seeking a ready-to-market seaside flat permitting holiday lets, this apartment offers convenience, modern finishes and proximity to the seafront. For owner-occupiers, the layout and parking are strong assets, but consider local area characteristics and confirm legal and safety checks before committing.
