Set on Poole Quay within the Dolphin Quays development, this fifth-floor two-double-bedroom apartment offers strong holiday‑let and buy‑to‑let appeal thanks to marina and harbour views, 24‑hour concierge and secure allocated parking. The apartment is presented with a high‑quality fully fitted Miele kitchen, two bathrooms (one ensuite) and adaptable open-plan living that maximises light from large picture windows.
The building and specification are modern (built 2009) with mains gas central heating, double glazing and reinforced concrete construction. The property is offered chain free, with a long lease (107 years) and immediate access to the quay’s cafés, restaurants, ferries and coastal walks — features that support short‑let demand and seasonal occupancy.
Buyers should note the ownership costs: an above‑average service charge (£4,096pa) and an expensive ground rent (£800pa) that doubles in 2040 and reviews every 20 years. There is a medium risk of flooding from rivers and sea and the location records higher local crime levels; these factors could affect insurance and lettings in peak seasons.
Overall this is a practical coastal investment or owner‑occupied pied‑à‑terre for someone seeking waterfront living with strong visitor demand. The apartment’s condition appears neutral and well maintained, but purchasers should factor in ongoing service costs and site‑specific risks when assessing long‑term returns.
