Top-floor two-bedroom flat in Linden Court, offered chain-free and with a single garage en bloc and CPZ permit parking. The 16ft x 13ft living/dining room is bright with large windows and wood flooring; the layout is practical for a compact city property. Electric storage heating and double glazing are in place, but much of the interior is dated and will need updating.
The flat is priced to reflect its renovation need and very short lease (approximately 35 years unexpired). That lease length will likely prevent most mortgage lending and makes this most suitable for cash buyers or investors able to manage a refurbishment and lease-extension cost. Annual service charge and ground rent apply: approx. £2,067.45 and £20 respectively.
Location is a clear strength: a short walk to Bedford town centre, station, schools and shops, and placed in an area popular with renters — making it a sensible buy-to-let opportunity once lease and condition issues are resolved. EPC rated E and Council Tax Band B.
Buyers should budget for internal modernisation, possible improvements to insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated), and the likely cost and timeline of a lease extension. Mortgage advice is recommended before offering.
