This first-floor two-bedroom flat offers an economical and practical home or buy-to-let in Humberstone, Leicester. The accommodation includes a galley-style kitchen, a separate living room, useful utility room, two double bedrooms and built-in storage, arranged across approximately 757 sq ft. Recent double glazing and contemporary finishes give a low-maintenance feel throughout.
The location delivers convenience — local shops, good schools, public transport links and Nuffield Health are all within easy reach. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern renters or a home office. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and current rental yield is estimated above 8% for investors.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the flat is leasehold with only 85 years remaining, which will require prompt attention and cost to extend. Heating is by electric storage heaters and mains walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation, so energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The rooms are compact and there is no private external space.
This property suits an investor seeking an affordable rental unit or a first-time buyer wanting a well-presented, manageable home. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the layout and contemporary condition, and to assess costs involved with the lease extension and any energy-efficiency improvements.
