Central Gloucester buy-to-let with immediate income and long lease tenure.

Compact 518 sq ft — efficient but small living space
Currently let at £950pcm; tenant in place until 12/12/2025
Reported rental yield approximately 7.6%
Long lease: 998 years — low leasehold risk
Service charge about £1,176 annually; listed-status constraints
Heating by wall-mounted electric heaters; likely poor insulation
High local crime and very deprived area — consider tenant screening
This compact two-bedroom apartment sits within a converted Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse on Brunswick Square, a short walk from historic Gloucester Docks and Gloucester Quays. At 518 sq ft it is small but arranged for efficient city living and currently returns rental income of £950pcm (7.6% yield). The long lease (998 years) and no flood risk are practical ownership advantages.
The property is let to a sitting tenant until 12/12/2025, so immediate vacant possession is not available. Heating is by wall-mounted electric heaters and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation — consider energy upgrades if owner-occupying or planning long-term holds.
Service charge averages £1,176 and the building’s listed status may impose restrictions and additional costs for repairs and alterations. The location offers excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and plentiful local amenities, but the wider area shows high crime levels and marked deprivation, factors investors should weigh when setting rent and selecting tenants.
For an investor seeking a central Gloucester buy-to-let with immediate rental income and long lease security, this property offers straightforward management and clear renovation potential. For an owner-occupier, the small size, listed constraints and current tenancy may limit short-term suitability.
