Summary - Apartment 112 The Academy, Holly Street LU1 3DF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern flat near station and shops ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free; immediate completion possible
A smart, low-maintenance one-bedroom apartment with a study, offered chain-free and ready for quick purchase. Set in a modern block near Luton town centre, the flat is a practical choice for a first-time buyer or investor seeking immediate rental potential. The location puts the Mall, Luton station and local amenities within a short walk, and the block includes a lift and secure off-street parking.
Internally the accommodation is compact but well laid out across about 571 sq ft, with a living room, fitted kitchen, main bedroom and a separate study area that could double as a home office. Double glazing and contemporary construction (2003–2006) mean minimal immediate refurbishment is likely, but heating is by electric room heaters, which can be costly compared with gas central heating.
This is a leasehold property with 104 years remaining; service charge and ground rent are material ongoing costs (approx. £2,700 service charge and £220 ground rent annually). The wider area has very high deprivation scores, so buyers should weigh long-term neighbourhood trends alongside the convenience and transport links. Council tax is described as cheap, and crime levels are very low.
Overall this apartment suits someone wanting a central, low-fuss home or a lettable city-centre asset. Be aware of the ongoing charges and electric heating when budgeting for monthly costs.
