Chain-free first-floor flat with rental potential in popular student and professional area.
Chain-free first-floor two-bedroom flat
A chain-free two-bedroom first-floor flat in Heaton, well placed for students and professionals and close to Newcastle city centre. The apartment retains period character — high ceilings, sash-style windows and a feature fireplace — and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating.
The layout includes lounge, kitchen with rear door to yard, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. At 667 sqft the property offers solid rental potential; current estimates suggest around £900pcm (£10,800pa), making this a viable buy-to-let or starter-home opportunity.
Practical considerations: the flat is leasehold with 98 years remaining (original term 125 years from 1999) and an EPC rating of D. The building dates from the early 20th century and shows typical period wear; the property is described as dated and will benefit from updating and modernisation to maximise value and income.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, plentiful local amenities and good transport links. Note the area records higher crime levels than average locally; buyers should factor this into investment or resale plans and check all lease and legal details with their solicitor.
