Description

Corner building, listed as Heritage.

Remarkable energy performance for a period building

No unit is classified as an energy-inefficient property: no mandatory energy works required, no future restrictions on letting. Interior insulation, double glazing and modern mechanical ventilation ensure lasting comfort. Electric inertia heating and electric water heaters throughout.
Rental situation and yield
All four apartments are currently let, with leases in place and tenants in residence. All tenant insurance policies are up to date. Based on the net seller price, the gross yield is approximately 7%.
