Description

 

A modern studio in a prime PL4 location delivering an impressive 17% gross yield and long lease of 243 years. Tucked away in a really convenient central spot, within a short walk of the university, city centre, Barbican and train station, this smart first-floor studio is ideal for a buyer looking for something simple to add to your portfolio. The layout has been designed to make the most of the space, offering a bright open-plan feel that combines the kitchen, living and sleeping area.

From an investment perspective, the property is let agreed at £850 PCM, with new tenants due to move in early April via City Lets, providing immediate income from day one. This equates to £10,200 per annum, delivering an attractive gross yield of approximately 17% at the asking price of £60,000. The combination of a secured tenancy and strong return makes this a compelling, ready-made investment opportunity.

The kitchen is modern and practical, with integrated appliances and good worktop space everything you need without overcomplicating things.

There is also a separate shower room, finished in a clean, neutral style, keeping the overall feel low-maintenance and easy to manage.

The accommodation comprises:

Kitchen/Living Room: 3.84m x 4.88m (12’7” x 16’0”)
Shower Room: 1.89m x 2.40m (6’2” x 7’11”)
Total Area: approx. 18.7 sq m (202 sq ft)


Investment Snapshot
With an expected rental income of £185 per week (£9,620 per annum), this would produce an approximate 16% gross yield based on a £60,000 purchase.

For Plymouth where many investments sit closer to the 10–12% range  this represents a strong return, particularly for a property that’s ready to go.

About Francis Stuart, Plymouth

40 Mannamead Road Mutley Plymouth PL4 7AF

At Francis Stuart, we believe selling your home successfully comes down to three things:

Presentation. Exposure. Communication.

Simply putting a property on the market and waiting for a buyer is not enough. Every home deserves a considered marketing strategy designed to present it at its very best, reach the right audience and create the strongest possible opportunity to achieve the best price the market will support.

Presentation

First impressions matter.

From professional photography and carefully written property descriptions to floorplans, video and digital marketing, we focus on presenting each home in a way that captures attention and gives buyers a reason to want to know more.

We don't believe in simply listing properties. We believe in marketing them.

Exposure

Great presentation only works if enough of the right buyers see it.

Alongside the major property portals, we use social media, video marketing, our buyer database and targeted digital exposure to give our properties the widest and most effective reach possible.

Our approach is proactive. We don't just wait for enquiries to arrive; we actively work to create interest, follow up prospective buyers and identify opportunities to generate viewings.

Communication

Good estate agency doesn't end when an offer is accepted.

Our team remains closely involved throughout the transaction, communicating with sellers, buyers, solicitors, mortgage advisers and other agents within the chain to keep everyone informed and help move the sale towards completion.

For our clients, that means having an agent who remains accountable from the day the property launches until the keys are handed over.

Local Knowledge. Straightforward Advice.

Our team has extensive knowledge of the Plymouth property market and the surrounding areas.

We believe homeowners deserve realistic, evidence-based advice rather than an inflated valuation simply designed to win an instruction.

Whether you are thinking about selling now, preparing for a future move or have a property that has struggled to sell with another agent, we are always happy to have a straightforward conversation about your options.
