Claremont View, Little Woodhouse, Leeds, LS3

*** OFFERED FOR SALE BY MODERN METHOD OF AUCTION *** AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A FREEHOLD BUILDING COMPRISING FIVE SELF CONTAINED FLATS CURRENTLY LET TO PROFESSIONAL TENANTS. Freehold. Council Tax Band A.

THE BUILDING
Presented to the market with the benefit of NO ONWARD CHAIN, this is a great opportunity to purchase a ready-made investment which is currently producing net rental income of £28477 per annum. The current owner/landlord pays council tax and water rates (current combined amount is £2318 per annum), with each tenant paying their own electricity bills. Please note: there is currently no gas to the building. The building is currently held on a single Freehold title and we are advised that the property was converted into self-contained units in the mid-1980’s, with our seller having owned since 2000. The flats are currently let to professional tenants on Assured Shorthold tenancies through to October 2025. Parking is on street and as the property is located so close to the City centre, resident parking permits are in operation and we understand these can be obtained from Leeds City Council.

1 Claremont View is for sale as a going concern and the current fixed term tenancies are unaffected. We highly recommended anyone who is seriously interested to arrange an early viewing.

RENTAL INCOME
Currently, the building is fully let to professional tenants producing a gross rental income of £30795 per annum with minimal void periods between tenancies. We believe there is an opportunity to increase the overall rental income further by upgrading the fixtures and fittings as and when a flat becomes vacant.
