The Property

a living room a separate fitted kitchen with gas cooker and wall-mounted boiler two double bedrooms a fully tiled wet room

Lease and Charges

Tenure: leasehold, with approximately 67 years unexpired Ground rent: £150 a year Service charge: £1,417 a year Gardens: the gardens around the block are not owned with the flat

With under 80 years remaining, many mortgage lenders will not lend, and a lease extension is likely to be needed for resale or refinancing. Under current rules, the cost of extending a lease of under 80 years includes marriage value. The Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024 will change this once the relevant provisions come into force. Full details are in the legal pack, and buyers should take legal and valuation advice.

Rental Potential

The flat is vacant, so there is no current rental income. Two-bedroom flats in the area typically let for around £500–£550 a month. At that level, the flat would bring in £6,000–£6,600 a year, a gross return of about 24–26% at the guide price.

After the ground rent and service charge (£1,567 a year in total), the estimated return falls to about 18–20% at the guide price. That is before insurance, voids, repairs and letting costs. These figures are estimates only, and buyers should take their own lettings advice.

The Location

The flat is in the TS25 area of Hartlepool, close to local shops, schools and bus routes. Hartlepool town centre, the marina and the railway station are within easy reach. The station has services to Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough, and the A689 and A19 give access across Teesside and the North East.

Who This Suits

Cash buyers and buy-to-let investors looking for a low entry price, and buyers able to fund a lease extension. Buyers who need a mortgage should check the lease with their lender before bidding.
