Summary - Echo Central Two LS9 8NR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact buy-to-let studio with immediate rental income close to Leeds transport links.
Sold tenanted — fixed tenancy producing £775 pcm until July 2025
A compact sixth-floor studio in Echo Central Two, offered with a fixed tenancy producing £775 pcm until July 2025 — suitable for buy-to-let investors seeking immediate income. The building is modern (constructed 2007 onward) with double glazing, an EPC C and EWS1 B1 compliance, reducing near-term cladding/structural concerns.
The apartment is efficiently laid out with an open-plan living/kitchen area, Juliet balcony, walk-in utility cupboard and recently installed hot water cylinder (Oct 2023). Service charge and ground rent are explicit: £1,230.22 pa service charge for 2025 and ground rent £325.98 pa (RPI-linked review; next review 2027), with c.133 years remaining on the lease.
Prospective buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand outside the student/short-term market. Heating is electric room heaters (no central gas), and the apartment is small at c.344 sq ft — suitable for single occupancy or student renters rather than families.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-management income unit for buyers prioritising immediate rental return and proximity to Leeds transport and amenities. Buyers planning an owner-occupier move or long-term family use should note the size, local area profile and electric heating when assessing suitability.
