Off‑plan city investment near Leeds station with strong rental demand.
New-build one-bedroom apartment in Leeds South Bank regeneration zone
This one-bedroom apartment in the Temple Yard development offers a new-build, low-maintenance city-centre investment in Leeds’ South Bank regeneration zone. The scheme is positioned close to Leeds Train Station and central amenities, designed with contemporary finishes, open-plan living and large windows that maximise natural light. The plot is advertised off‑plan with strong local rental demand driven by nearby employers, students and a growing residential community.
Key financial and tenure facts are straightforward: the property is leasehold with a 999-year lease and an average service charge of £2,312 per year. The building’s EPC summary indicates a C band (approx. 71), typical for modern city apartments, and flood and crime risks are low. There is no private garden and internal floor area is compact, reflecting typical city-centre apartment dimensions.
This opportunity suits an investor seeking rental income and potential capital growth in a major regeneration corridor. Buyers should allow for the off‑plan timeline and factor the annual service charge into return calculations. The local demographic mix — students, professionals and migrant families — supports lettings but means tenant turnover and demand profiles may vary with the academic and employment cycles.
Viewing and valuation will require full floorplans and a breakdown of service charge inclusions. Material positives are the prime central location, contemporary specification and strong transport links; material drawbacks are the off‑plan purchase risk, ongoing service charge and compact internal footprint with no private outdoor space.
