This first-floor studio at Robert Jennings Close offers an affordable, low-maintenance entry into Cambridge’s rental market. The compact living/bedroom layout, balcony access and on-site parking make it easy to let to professionals or students seeking quick access to the city and transport links.
The block is a well-kept 1980s brick development with double glazing and communal outdoor space. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern tenants; council tax is very cheap which reduces ongoing costs. The property is being sold chain-free, simplifying and speeding up completion.
Buyers should note a material drawback: the lease has about 62 years remaining. This is likely to cause mortgage lenders to refuse standard lending and may necessitate a cash purchase or lease extension cost. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating, which can affect running costs and tenant appeal. The local area shows above-average crime statistics and some deprivation, which may influence rental pricing and management requirements.
For investors comfortable with leasehold complexities or for cash buyers, the flat presents clear potential for steady rental income and low management overheads. Prospective purchasers are advised to verify lease details, service charges and to obtain independent surveys and lender confirmation before committing.
