A two-bedroom flat set above ground-floor commercial premises on Leicester Road, Mountsorrel, offered freehold and currently let. The property produces a gross annual rent of £8,220, giving an indicative gross yield of about 7.15% at the asking price of £115,000 — a straightforward addition for a buy-to-let portfolio.
The flat is compact (approximately 667 sq ft) with lounge, two bedrooms, kitchen and three-piece bathroom. Tenants have occupied the property for several years, pay rent reliably and do not intend to vacate, creating immediate income but meaning the sale will be subject to an existing tenancy. On-street parking is available only; there is no private parking.
This property sits in a Victorian mixed-use building on a main road, which brings passing trade and potential commercial activity at street level. That location suits investors seeking steady rental income or developers willing to explore alternative uses, though any residential-to-commercial conversion or significant works would require planning permission and local consultation.
Notable constraints include above-average local crime rates, average mobile and broadband speeds, and the Buyers Premium that will apply to secure a purchase. These factors, plus the urban main-road setting and on-street parking, are realistic considerations for long-term lettings or re-letting to different tenant profiles.
