We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
One of the Largest Studio Apartments in Portland House – Vacant Possession & Ready to Occupy or Let An outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the largest studio apartments within the highly sought-after Portland House development, ideally located on The Kingsway in the heart of Swansea City Centre.
Offered with vacant possession, this impressive property provides complete flexibility for both owner-occupiers and investors, with the option to move straight in or secure a tenant immediately at current market rental levels.
Situated on the second floor, the apartment is accessed via a secure communal entrance with an intercom entry system, leading to well-maintained communal areas and residents' mailboxes.
Internally, the property offers a spacious open-plan living and sleeping area, providing significantly more floor space than many comparable studio apartments within the development.
The generous layout comfortably accommodates both lounge and bedroom furniture, creating a bright, modern, and versatile living space.
The contemporary fitted kitchen is well appointed with a range of integrated appliances, including an oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge freezer.
The stylish shower room comprises a modern shower enclosure, WC, and wash hand basin.
Additional benefits include gas central heating, double glazing throughout, and access to communal laundry facilities within the building.
Perfectly positioned in the centre of Swansea, Portland House is just a short walk from an excellent selection of shops, cafés, restaurants, Swansea Marina, and the city's vibrant waterfront.
Excellent transport links are close at hand, while Swansea University's Singleton and Bay Campuses, together with the University of Wales Trinity Saint David (uwtsd), are all easily accessible, making the property particularly appealing to students, graduates, young professionals, and city centre workers.
Whether you are looking for a high-yield buy-to-let investment, a convenient city centre home, or your first property purchase, this spacious studio apartment represents an excellent opportunity.
The vacant status allows the new owner to either let the property immediately or move in without delay, while its generous proportions, modern specification, and prime central location make it one of the most desirable studio apartments available within Portland House.
