Buy-to-Let Investment Opportunity – Tenant in Situ
An excellent opportunity for buy-to-let investors to acquire a well-located studio apartment with a long-standing tenant already in occupation, providing immediate rental income from day one.
Situated on The Drive in South Tonbridge, the property is just 0.3 miles from Tonbridge Mainline Station, offering fast and direct services to London Bridge, Charing Cross and Cannon Street. Tonbridge High Street is also within walking distance, providing a wide range of shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, making the property an attractive rental proposition.
The apartment is currently let to a reliable long-term tenant who has happily occupied the property for several years and has expressed a desire to remain, offering investors continuity of income and the potential to minimise void periods.
The current rent is £640 per calendar month, following a recent increase, producing an annual rental income of £7,680 and an approximate gross yield of 7.0%–8.5%, based on the revised guide price of £90,000–£110,000.
Accessed via a secure communal entrance, the accommodation comprises a bright and versatile studio room, a separate kitchen, and a bathroom that was redecorated approximately two years ago with a modern white suite and finish.
Further benefits include one allocated parking space and Council Tax Band A, helping to keep occupancy costs attractive for tenants.
Tonbridge continues to be a popular rental location thanks to its excellent transport links, strong commuter demand, highly regarded schools, and convenient access to the A21 and M25.
This is a genuine turnkey investment opportunity, offering an established tenancy, immediate rental income, and strong long-term rental appeal in a sought-after Kent location.
