Summary - East Street, Weymouth DT4 8BW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact two-bedroom near beach — ideal for holiday lets or rental income.
Chain free and newly renovated throughout
A compact two-bedroom flat in the heart of Weymouth, offered chain free and newly renovated throughout. The property occupies a prime central position a stone’s throw from the sandy beach, harbourside restaurants and town amenities — an attractive short-stay or rental proposition given holiday lettings are permitted.
The accommodation is arranged over two levels with an open-plan kitchen/lounge on the upper level, benefitting from a large west-facing bay window that fills the room with late-afternoon light. Two double bedrooms sit on the lower ground floor; the principal bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe. The overall internal floor area is small (approximately 330 sq ft), so rooms are compact and storage is limited.
Practical details support longer-term ownership: a very long lease (979 years), an approximate service charge of £1,200 per year (£100 pcm) and very low council tax. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property does not have a communal or gas central heating system — factor in likely running costs and limited winter comfort compared with central heating.
Be candid about location factors: the immediate area is very deprived with a very high recorded crime level. For investors and short-let operators this central seaside site and holiday-let permission are clear positives, but buyers seeking a quieter neighbourhood or family living should note the local social and safety challenges. Buyers should verify lease, service charge and let permissions with a solicitor before committing.
