This second-floor studio-style apartment sits in a modern 2003–06 development close to Angel Meadows and local shops, offering straightforward rental appeal in a busy student neighbourhood. The main living space exceeds 25 ft and includes a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, making it suited to single professionals or student sharers wanting central, low-maintenance city living.
Practical details are clear: the flat is leasehold with about 113 years remaining, an EPC rating of C, and double glazing. Annual service charge is £1,069 and ground rent £225; heating is by electric room heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — positives for renters.
Strengths here are location, size and low immediate refurbishment need. Material points to note: the property is in a deprived, predominantly student area which will influence tenant profiles and long-term resale comparables. Buyers should allow for higher electricity costs and factor in ongoing service charge and ground rent when assessing yield.
Overall, the flat offers a simple, flexible city-base in a modern block with communal courtyard space and good transport links. It will suit investors seeking steady city-centre rental demand or a first-time buyer comfortable with leasehold, communal charges and an urban, student-focused neighbourhood.
