This two-bedroom leasehold apartment in WA8 is presented as a buy-to-let opportunity with a long-term tenant in situ. At 635 sq ft, the layout includes an ensuite, main bathroom and an open-plan living/kitchen area; rooms are described as small to medium with generally low to standard ceiling heights. The building is contemporary with a secure entrance and good communal access to local amenities and transport links.
The property currently produces a gross annual income of £6,900; market rent is stated around £9,000, so there is clear uplift potential for an investor prepared to review rents at renewal. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as strong, supporting tenant demand and modern living requirements. Local schools and services attract white-professional and comfortable-suburbia demographics, which can support steady long-term lets.
Buyers should note material considerations: the apartment is leasehold, a Buyer’s Premium applies to secure the sale, and a sitting tenant means no immediate vacant possession. Internal space is compact and ceiling heights are lower in parts, so capital improvements or reconfiguration may be needed if targeting higher rents. Crime is average and the area is affluent with no flooding risk.
Overall this is a practical addition for an investor seeking an income-producing asset with uplift potential rather than a turnkey renovation project. Suitability is strongest for buy-to-let purchasers or portfolio builders who accept leasehold ownership and a tenant in place.
