High-yield rental in a sought-after Southampton location with allocated parking.
Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens
Compact one-bedroom layout — about 422 sq ft
Partially furnished; ready for immediate let
Long lease (963 years) and low ground rent (£50)
Service charge relatively high: ~£2,469 per year
Reported slow broadband speeds may deter some tenants
Built early 1990s with double glazing and gas central heating
Small size — best for single occupant or couple, not a family
This one-bedroom first-floor apartment in SO17 presents a straightforward rental opportunity in a well-maintained modern development. The layout is compact and practical: lounge/diner, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom within about 422 sq ft. Allocated off-street parking and communal gardens increase tenant appeal in a city-centre fringe location.
For investors the property is ready to let immediately and has been sold partially furnished, supporting a quick move-in for tenants. The block was built in the early 1990s and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and long leasehold security (963 years remaining). Service charge and ground rent are disclosed, and resident parking and communal areas are maintained.
Be clear on the limitations: the apartment is small and best suited to single occupants or couples rather than families. Service charge is relatively high at an average of £2,469 per year and broadband speeds are reported slow — factors that can affect net return and tenant expectations. Prospective buyers should budget for any cosmetic updates and commission their own inspections before purchase.
Overall this is a low-management rental asset in a sought-after Southampton neighbourhood with immediate income potential and long lease security. It will suit landlords after a compact, easy-to-manage flat close to transport links, amenities and established schools.
