About
A modern studio in a prime PL4 location delivering an impressive 17% gross yield and long lease of 243 years.
Tucked away in a really convenient central spot, within a short walk of the university, city centre, Barbican and train station, this smart first-floor studio is ideal for a buyer looking for something simple to add to your portfolio.
The layout has been designed to make the most of the space, offering a bright open-plan feel that combines the kitchen, living and sleeping area.

This equates to £10,200 per annum, delivering an attractive gross yield of approximately 17% at the asking price of £60,000.
The combination of a secured tenancy and strong return makes this a compelling, ready-made investment opportunity.

There is also a separate shower room, finished in a clean, neutral style, keeping the overall feel low-maintenance and easy to manage.
