This one-bedroom apartment in The Mills Building offers a compact, city-centre home with clear investor appeal. The open-plan living space and large front-facing windows provide bright, low-maintenance accommodation in Nottingham’s Lace Market, a well-known student and city-centre rental market. The property benefits from a very long lease (974 years) and fast broadband, making it straightforward to let to students or young professionals.
Practical positives include a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances, a double bedroom with fitted storage, and an EPC rating of C. The building’s Victorian-industrial character and high ceilings give the apartment curb appeal and potential for strong short-term rental interest or steady long-term tenancy.
Buyers should note material sale details: the property is leasehold and will be sold at auction, with binding contracts exchanged on the sale day. Annual service charges are significant (£3,886 average) and any additional auction fees and the required 10% deposit (minimum £5,000) will apply. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, student-focused neighbourhood with pockets of deprivation—good for yield but it brings variable tenant profiles and management considerations.
Overall this is a practical, city-centre investment with low vacancy potential and clear income prospects, provided purchasers factor in service charges, auction costs, and the on-the-ground management needs of a student-oriented location.
