TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS - FIRST FLOOR - TOWN CENTRE LOCATION - GREAT BUY TO LET OR FIRST TIME BUY - NO CHAIN
Property Oracle says ..
This two-bedroom apartment located at 136 Commercial Road in Bournemouth presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. Its central location in a bustling area offers easy access to amenities and transport links making it convenient for daily life and potentially lucrative as a buy-to-let investment. The proximity to Bournemouth town centre and rail links is a significant advantage. However, a lack of outdoor space and an overall dated aesthetic within the property are immediate drawbacks. The kitchen and bathroom, specifically, appear quite dated and could require updates or modernization. Whilst the photographs presented are not extensive, they show an average level of maintenance, not indicating any major issues, but not giving a feel of modern luxury. The apartment’s asking price relative to other properties in the area appears reasonable for the location, but potential buyers should factor in the cost of renovations and modernisation. Overall, while the location is a strong selling point, the need for renovation work should be carefully considered and accounted for in any investment decision. The limited plot size and lack of parking will impact buyers differently. Those prioritizing location, transport, and potential rental income might find this property suitable with an understanding of required work, others looking for modern comfort and outdoor space might not.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
