Description
Discover this exclusive London Road Peterborough apartments opportunity at PE2 9BT. Comprising 13 one-bedroom flats finished to a high standard, this freehold block is offered at a guide price of £3 million plus a 2% sourcing fee.
Although current yields (3.48%–3.98% gross) fall below the city average (6.04%–6.24%), the property sits in a low-vacancy market (1% vacancy rate), providing stable cash flow and potential upside through re-letting at market rents of up to £765 PCM.
Located in Fletton & Woodston, the block benefits from excellent amenities within walking distance, including supermarkets, cafés, gyms and Queensgate Shopping Centre. Peterborough Station—and direct services to London King’s Cross—is a 15-minute walk away, while frequent bus routes stop on London Road. With robust city-centre regeneration underway (Station Quarter, Riverside and ARU Living Lab), this asset offers both immediate income and long-term capital growth.
