Investment Opportunity to acquire this first floor 1 bedroom flat occupying desirable curbside presence on Commercial Street in Newport. Sold with vacant possession.

Guide Price* : £45,000+

Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious first-floor leasehold apartment situated above established retail premises in a prominent position on Commercial Road, Newport. The property forms part of an attractive period building within Newport's established commercial and residential area and benefits from excellent access to Newport City Centre, Newport Railway Station, local amenities and the M4 motorway network for commuters.

We believe that the property, if rented could produce an approximate realistic rental income of £600pcm (£7,200 per annum) which at the current advertised Guide Price could produce an extremely attractive gross yield. We understand annual contributions include a sinking fund and buildings insurance contribution but please refer to the legal pack for a more detailed breakdown of this. The property appears suitable for residential letting and offers investors an affordable income-producing asset within a popular rental location.

Commercial Road is a well-established mixed-use area comprising retail, residential and commercial occupiers, conveniently located within walking distance of Newport city centre and its extensive amenities. The area continues to benefit from strong rental demand due to its proximity to employment centres, transport links and the University of South Wales campus and Royal Gwent Hospital nearby.

For further information on tenure or any other relevant information please refer to the legal pack once available.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
