Leeds conversions are the choice for property investor
During the last ten years Leeds has undergone major regeneration, and today is recognised as one of the UK’s largest centres for financial and business services. As a thriving city Leeds is proving that it has excellent investment potential for property investors, however the over supply of new build developments in the city means that investors looking for a premium rent are increasingly turning to conversions.
City Lofts Roberts Wharf includes the refurbishment of The Bank Mills buildings, located to the South of East Street, Leeds on the banks of the River Aire, as well as the construction of two new build blocks to provide a mixed-use office and residential scheme. The conversion, which has rapidly established itself as one of the City’s most desirable residential developments, has been refurbished to the highest standard and retains many original features of the mill including cast iron columns and vaulted ceilings.
The specification throughout is of the highest standard with apartments benefiting from bespoke Conran designed kitchens and bathroom furniture, granite worktops, custom designed fittings, ceramic tiling, exposed brickwork, laminated timber and carpeted flooring. With security in mind, each apartment has a solid core oak veneer entrance door and video entry-phone system. The development also benefits from a concierge service. The development is canal side with an internal courtyard featuring landscape gardens. Parking spaces are available to an additional cost.
Leeds, regarded by many as the capital of Yorkshire, is the major employment centre in the region. Around 442,400 people work in the city and this is expected to provide 45% of employment growth in the region over the next 10 years. Leeds University has the most application forms from students making it a popular destination for students. Despite its business links, this bustling city is only 20 minutes drive from the Yorkshire Dales national park.
There are only a limited number of studio, one and two-bedroom apartments left at City Lofts Roberts Wharf, priced from approximately £90,000. For more information please call the selling agents Morgans on 0113 398 0099 or visit www.citylofts.co.uk
