Chelton Brown are delighted to present to the market this fantastic investment opportunity-a fully tenanted, turnkey buy-to-let apartment offering immediate returns.
Currently achieving an annual rental income of £11,700, and with modest outgoings including a £900 per annum service charge and a peppercorn ground rent of just £1, this property provides an impressive gross yield of approximately 9.5%. With the tenant already in situ and all compliance certificates in place, this is a hassle-free investment from day one.
Situated within the sought-after Life Building development, the property benefits from superb on-site management and beautifully maintained communal areas. The development’s standout feature-the iconic former Express Lift Tower, now a local landmark-hosts regular charity events such as abseiling, contributing to the building’s strong community appeal and continued tenant demand.
The ground-floor apartment comes with allocated parking and is presented in excellent condition throughout. It features neutral décor, well-maintained carpeting, and a modern fitted kitchen complete with appliances. The spacious living area easily accommodates both lounge and dining furniture, while the two generous double bedrooms include built-in wardrobes for added convenience. The contemporary bathroom offers a shower-over-bath setup, perfect for modern living.
All essential safety certificates are already in place, including the EPC, eicr, and Gas Safety Certificate, ensuring full compliance and peace of mind for any investor.
