This one-bedroom flat-share in Queensland Place is positioned for investors targeting the student rental market. Located 0.4 miles from the University of Liverpool and close to LJMU and the city centre, the unit benefits from strong student demand and communal amenities that drive lettability.
The property is part of a purpose-built student cluster, fully managed by Urban Evolution and offered with modern furnishings, fitted kitchen, and on-site facilities including a gym, cinema room and social communal spaces. The listing states an approximate 10% annual yield and a low service charge, making it attractive for a buy-to-let portfolio addition at a low entry price (£30,000).
Material negatives are clear and factual: the apartment is leasehold; the surrounding area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates; heating relies on electric room heaters; and broadband speeds are only average. These factors affect operating costs, tenant expectations and some investor risk metrics.
Overall, this is a high-yield, low-price, fully managed student investment with strong location advantages and communal facilities. Suitable investors will factor in the social and safety considerations, electric heating costs, and leasehold terms when assessing net returns and long-term strategy.
