This two-bedroom apartment located on Quayside Drive in Colchester’s Greenstead area is presented as an investment opportunity. Its proximity to Essex University is a key selling point, suggesting strong rental potential as evidenced by the stated £1200PCM rental income. The apartment itself appears functional, with a modern kitchen and bathroom seen in the photos. The images don’t, however, reveal any significant issues requiring major repair or renovation. The external view shows a typical apartment block within a residential setting. While the precise size of the property is missing from the listing, the price is within the range of other properties in the immediate area, suggesting reasonable value within this location. The lack of information regarding the size of the property and the absence of a garden limits a comprehensive evaluation of the property’s overall value and desirability. The key advantage is the potential for rental income. A prospective buyer should commission a full survey to assess the property’s structural condition and overall quality before purchasing, this is especially crucial given the lack of provided square footage information.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
