Compliance & Documentation
The property has a Certificate of Existing Lawful Development issued by Plymouth City Council on 12 March 2025, confirming its established use as five flats (Class C3).
Electrical Installation Condition Reports are available for all five flats. The reports for Flats 1, 2, 3 and 4 were completed in August 2024 and recorded satisfactory results. Flat 5 has a separate electrical report dated May 2026.
A fire risk assessment, fire alarm inspection documentation and emergency lighting inspection documentation are also available, together with the existing tenancy agreement for Flat 5.
Copies of the available documentation can be provided to interested buyers.
Flexibility for Investors
The seller is happy to keep the vacant flats available, giving a purchaser the flexibility to source their own tenants using own letting agents or explore alternative plans for the property.
Ideally, the longstanding tenant in the top-floor flat would remain in occupation, allowing the investment to continue with an established tenancy already in place.
Should a sale not be agreed in the near future, the seller intends to let the vacant flats to generate rental income in the meantime.
If this type property is of interest, please do get in touch. I'm always happy to talk through the figures, provide further information or arrange a viewing.
And if this one isn't quite what you're looking for, please let us know what type of investor you are so we can keep you in mind for future opportunities.
