Description

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a student investment property in superb condition, comprising three apartments (nine bedrooms total), fully let for 2025-26 with excellent EPC ratings and a gross annual return of circa £68,000. Why not take a closer look... What Is On Offer Here? - Quite simply an outstanding investment opportunity with a near 12% annual gross return. We are advised that the net income is around 85% of the £68,000 gross, meaning a net return of almost 10% - superb for Lancaster. Already let for 2025-26 and with a very capable property manager ready to secure tenants again for subsequent years it has the potential to be an extremely lucrative hands off investment. Let's Have A Look At The Accommodation.. - Renovated diligently and beautifully by the present owners, it's a student let with a difference. Nine student bedrooms set over three apartments within this large (over 2000 square feet) Victorian building. The smaller ground floor hosts one bedroom and the two larger apartments have four each. The apartments are named after Beatles classics, Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane and Abbey Road which is a stylish touch. Externally the property has a lovely and well maintained rear yard/garden and driveway parking for two cars. What About The Location? - This excellent property is perfectly situated to enjoy Lancaster city centre and its wealth of amenities as well as superb transport links. The train station could not be much closer, the bus station with regular buses to campus is a short walk away and should it be needed, junction 34 of the M6 can be reached easily via the one way system. Nearby amenities include the Merchants Pub, the iconic St. Georges Quay with its charming array of bars and restaurants, Lancaster Castle and other city attractions such as the Priory and Museum. Lancaster And Students - Lancaster is a very student orientated city. Varying sources state there are between 12,500 and 18,000 active students at any one time. In terms of this property and its rental potential, with the city hosting not only Lancaster University itself but also the University of Cumbria, Lancaster campus there should always be a healthy supply of potential occupants. The property has been managed successfully since purchase by Paul Morris at Escape Campus who has an unenviable reputation in the city and is Lancaster University Homes accredited.
