About this home
Freehold investment opportunity comprising six self-contained flats, offering a current rental income of approximately £54,000 per annum.
Situation - 12 Salutary Mount is situated just off Fore Street in the popular and established suburb of Heavitree, approximately 1.5 miles east of Exeter city centre. Heavitree offers an excellent range of everyday amenities, including shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants and healthcare facilities, together with regular bus services providing convenient access to the city centre and surrounding areas. Exeter itself provides a wide range of shopping, recreational and cultural facilities, together with excellent transport links including Exeter Central and St David's railway stations, the M5 motorway and Exeter International Airport.
Descrition - An excellent investment opportunity comprising a substantial freehold building arranged as six self-contained flats, ranging from studio accommodation through to two-bedroom apartments. The property provides an attractive and varied investment portfolio, with the flats arranged over the ground, first and second floors.
The property currently produces a combined rental income of approximately £54,000 per annum, based on the existing rents. Several of the occupiers are understood to be long-standing tenants, and as a result some of the current rents are considered to be below their potential market level. Subject to the necessary maintenance and improvement works, there may therefore be scope for a purchaser to increase the rental income over time.
The building has recently benefited from a newly fitted roof, providing an important recent improvement to the property. With six individual rental units, the property offers a good degree of diversification and would be well suited to an investor seeking an established income-producing freehold asset.
Flat 1 - A studio apartment situated on the ground floor, currently producing a rental income of £650 per calendar month.
Flat 2 - A one-bedroom ground floor flat, currently producing £700 per calendar month.
Flat 3 - A one-bedroom garden flat with direct access to the rear garden. The flat is currently let at £525 per calendar month and would benefit from renovation and maintenance works, offering potential for improvement and rental growth.
Flat 4 - A well-proportioned two-bedroom first floor flat, currently producing £975 per calendar month.
Flat 5 - A one-bedroom flat arranged over two floors, with its own entrance from the first floor. The property is currently let at £695 per calendar month.
Flat 6 - A good-sized two-bedroom second floor flat, currently producing £975 per calendar month.
Outside - The property occupies an attractive position, set back from Fore Street behind a well-established front garden, providing a pleasant approach and separation from the road. To the rear is a generous garden, providing valuable outside space for the flats and further enhancing the overall appeal of the investment.
Investment Summary - The property currently provides a combined rental income of approximately £54,000 per annum (£4,520 per calendar month). There is considered to be potential to improve the income in the future, particularly following maintenance and refurbishment works to some of the flats and as existing tenancies change. The combination of six individual flats, a newly fitted roof, attractive gardens and potential for rental growth makes this an appealing opportunity for both experienced and first-time investment buyers.
