TWO SELF CONTAINED FLATS UNDER ONE TITLE INCLUDING THE FREEHOLD
A rare opportunity has arisen for investors to acquire the freehold of a mid-terraced property comprising two self-contained flats under a single title which both offer scope to update and modernise throughout. Situated on the vibrant borders of Bevois Valley and Portswood, this property is perfectly positioned in a high-demand, predominantly student-residential hub, ideally located for easy access to both Solent University and the University of Southampton.
The building is split into two distinct dwellings, offering a versatile mix of accommodation including a well-proportioned two-bedroom apartment on the ground floor and a one-bedroom apartment on the first floor. Both flats benefit from their own private layouts and the ground floor flat enjoy access to a rear garden. While the property currently requires a program of modernisation, the internal proportions provide an excellent canvas for value-add improvements.
In terms of performance, the property is perfectly suited for the robust local rental market. With a targeted refurbishment, there is significant scope to increase both capital value and rental yields. Given the location, the property is particularly well-suited for traditional student lets, high-end professional accommodation or alternative rental models such as supported living, all of which could generate a significantly higher return than standard tenancies.
The location remains the primary driver of demand. The Bevois Valley and Portswood corridor offers unrivalled proximity to major university campuses alongside the eclectic shops, bars and eateries of Portswood High Street. Furthermore, excellent transport links provide easy access to Southampton's city centre, the M27 and M3 motorway networks, and frequent bus routes, ensuring a wide and consistent tenant base.
This is an exceptionally appealing proposition for buy-to-let investors looking to secure a freehold asset in one of Southampton's most resilient rental markets. Whether you are looking for a straightforward refurbishment project or a long-term addition to a portfolio, this property offers solid fundamentals and clear upside potential.
