Chain-free, affordable renovation opportunity near amenities and good transport links.
First-floor two-bedroom flat, approx 711 sq ft
Set on the first floor of a Victorian terrace in Westcotes, this two-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Leicester’s market at £80,000. The layout includes a lounge, separate kitchen and family bathroom across approximately 711 sq ft — practical for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The property requires upgrading and shows signs of damp in places; renovation will be needed to modernise finishes and address moisture issues. The building is solid brick with no assumed wall insulation and glazing is double but of unknown age. The lease has about 110 years remaining, ground rent currently £100 pa with index-linked increases and a long-term cap provision; service charge details are to be confirmed.
Positive practical points include a C-rated EPC (73), mains gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for renters or home workers. Local amenities, supermarkets, good transport links and several well-rated schools are nearby. Note the area records above-average crime and sits within a more deprived ward, which may affect rental demand and buyer suitability.
Offered chain-free, this flat suits someone seeking a low-cost purchase to renovate for personal occupation or to add a competitively priced rental unit. Viewings are recommended to assess the scope of works and renovation budget before committing.
