Set above Bellgate shops in Hemel Hempstead, this one‑bed upper flat is offered chain‑free and ready for a buy‑to‑let portfolio. The layout provides a large living room, a good‑sized bedroom, separate kitchen and family bathroom across approximately 431 sq ft — compact but straightforward to rent to local demand.
The flat benefits from communal off‑street parking, double glazing, mains gas central heating and proximity to Randalls Park (0.3 miles) and frequent local amenities, including shops and bus routes. With 97 years remaining on the lease and a modest asking price, the property suits investors targeting a low‑entry rental or refurbishment project.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the apartment sits above a busy parade of shops on a main road and there is no private outdoor space. The neighbourhood records above‑average crime and higher local deprivation, and the building dates from the late 1960s–1970s with timber‑frame elements and partial insulation (assumed). Services and appliances have not been tested; additional leasehold fees or pack costs may apply.
This is a practical, low‑cost holding for someone seeking immediate rental income or a short renovation to improve yield. Survey and service checks are recommended before purchase to confirm condition and running costs.
