Merttens Drive, Rothley – the deal every investor and first-time buyer has been waiting for...
If you’ve been watching the market and wondering when the right property would appear, stop scrolling - this is it. This property is a rare freehold apartment in the heart of sought-after Rothley that practically prints opportunity.

Immediate cash flow, immediate flexibility

The current, long term tenant pays £895 pcm, delivering a gross yield of about 5.6 % from day one. Prefer vacant possession? No problem - tenancy is expected to end before completion, so you can raise the rent, move straight in, or stage for resale. Either path points to profit - and with no ground rent or lease complications, that freehold status keeps long-term costs firmly in check.

Space that surprises

Up your return on investment with a layout that feels bigger than its square footage. The expansive 5.1 m × 5.4 m lounge–kitchen–diner is an investor’s dream: open-plan styling, two broad front windows and a ready-made “wow” factor for future viewings. Add a stylish sofa set and a breakfast island and you’ve instantly boosted rental appeal.

Two restful bedrooms sit quietly to the rear, ideal for sharers or a remote-working professional needing a home office. Bedroom 1 soaks up afternoon sun and bedroom 2 is a perfect study; both rooms being more than capable to accommodate double beds.  A well-kept bathroom comprising of a bath with a shower-over and crisp tiling keeps maintenance costs low.
