This is an opportunity to acquire a ready made investment property capable of generating an income from the outset. The availability of 6 secure dedicated parking spaces within the city centre is a major attribute adding to the overall appeal from both a sales and lettings perspective. Aside from allocated parking spaces to individual apartments they are also capable of being rented independently such is the demand for secure parking locally.<br/>The development itself and, more particularly, its situation is<br/>a key driver into the success of the letting business to date.<br/>Given its central location within Chester City Centre it is well<br/>suited to a variety of renters - the weekend break, weekday<br/>workers, racegoers, stag/hen weekends or longer term holidays staying close to friends & family.
