Property Overview:
This well-presented one-bedroom first-floor apartment in Peel Mills, Morley, offers an excellent opportunity for both investors and first-time buyers. With double glazing, gas central heating, and no onward chain, this property provides immediate comfort and convenience, while being ideally located for access to local amenities and transport links.
Inside, the property includes a spacious open-plan lounge and kitchen, fitted with modern units, an integral hob, and an electric oven. The double bedroom offers ample space, and the modern bathroom features a sleek white three-piece suite.
Externally, the property comes with one allocated parking space, and shared access to a communal entrance that includes both a staircase and a lift.
Investment Potential:
This property is currently tenanted on a month-to-month basis, generating a gross rental yield of 7.06%. The tenant is prepared to vacate upon completion, or sign a new agreement at a potentially higher rent, which is estimated at £650 per month based on current market conditions.
Before the anticipated rent increase, and after accounting for the service charge (£1,800 per year) and ground rent (£125 per year), the net yield is approximately 5.14%. This still offers solid returns for investors, and the new rental rate could further increase this yield.
Key Features for Investors:
High Yield Potential: Currently yielding a gross yield of 7.06%, with a potential net yield of 5.14% before rent adjustments.
Low Purchase Price: Accessible investment at £85,000, with strong rental returns.
Potential Rent Increase: Estimated rent increase to approx £650 per month will further boost net returns.
Flexible Tenancy: Tenant willing to vacate or stay with a potentially higher rent, adding versatility to the investment.
Recent Upgrades:
A new electric boiler system was installed in July 2023, improving energy efficiency and reducing future heating costs. Although the current EPC rating is E (49), this rating was issued prior to the boiler upgrade.
