Building Information
AbbeyLS are selling several apartments in Dyersgate and Roman Wall, Bath Lane, Leicester on behalf of a very loyal landlord that we have been working with for several years and continuously renting out their apartments. Unfortunately, it has come to the time that the landlord is now looking to sell these apartments due to a few reasons, some personal and some financial.
As you may be aware that around 95% of apartments in the UK are having major works to them and are only available to purchase by cash only.
We at Abbeyls wanted to make you aware of what is happening with the apartments we are advertising for sale so there will not be any confusion going forward and nothing is being hidden from you!
These apartments are available as a cash only purchase, due to cladding at the top of the building & cavity wall insulation now not being to code. After a building inspection, this is now needing to be changed to comply with the new and current fire and cladding guidelines, following the Grenfell disaster.
There is a grant that has been applied for via the management company, but with this, there are terms and conditions which unfortunately the current owner of these apartments do not meet as they own several other apartments in the building and the grant is worked out via the square meter/footage that you own. This means that the current owner has over the allowed amount to cover all their apartments.
The building has had an upgrade on its fire alarm system which complies with the new guidelines for apartment blocks. This work was completed in 2021 which has made an impact on the service charge for 2021 and 2022 but we have been informed by the owner that this will be reduced in the future.
Do not be put off by the above information, I know there is a lot to take in, but we are here to help and assist you. We can help you understand all the benefits you will get out of these apartments, if you are looking to live in the apartment for yourself or you are looking to purchase the apartment for investment, let us show you how you can increase your money over the years by purchasing one of these apartments due to the amazing price being offered!
