The combination of immediate income, relatively low annual charges, a popular rental location and excellent tenant demand makes this an excellent addition to a buy-to-let portfolio.
Furthermore, should the rent be brought into line with prevailing market levels in the future (subject to legislation), there is potential to further enhance the property's investment return.
