The property is currently vacant but was previously let, bringing in around £15,000 a year in rent, which gives a healthy gross yield of 10.03%.
It’s an ideal investment for anyone looking for a buy-to-let, whether targeting professional tenants or students, thanks to its close proximity to the universities and its location within a safe, secure development in the heart of leicester.
This first-floor apartment is right next to Highcross Shopping Centre-so you’ll have shops, restaurants, and city life literally on your doorstep.
One of the real highlights here is the rare communal garden on the first floor. It’s beautifully landscaped, with plenty of seating areas to sit back and relax-a real bonus for city living.
You’ll come in through a shared entrance with both stairs and a lift to all floors. From the covered walkway, you reach your front door and step into a welcoming hallway that opens up into a spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area. The living space leads out to a large balcony, which also connects to all three bedrooms.
There are two good-sized double bedrooms and a third room currently used as a home office-all with balcony access. The main bedroom features its own en-suite, and there’s also a separate family bathroom.
The apartment is held on a lease running from 25th December 2008 until 24th December 2133, giving you around 108 years remaining. The current service charge is approximately £1,275.81 per quarter, with a ground rent of £250 per year. The service charge covers building maintenance, lift upkeep, cleaning, and insurance.
