Investment Highlights
Core Project Advantages (Key Selling Points) 1. Kensington Core SW5 Postcode: RBKC district, asset preservation stronger than comparable two-bedrooms in Earl's Court outskirts or Fulham. 2. £650k for a Core-Area Two-Bedroom: Same-street Share of Freehold two-bedrooms typically listed at £750k–890k (this 55㎡ size segment is a low-entry point in SW5). 3. Two Stations within 5–9 Minutes' Walk: Piccadilly Line direct to Heathrow / West End / King's Cross, easy to rent to IC students or financial commuters. 4. Imperial College 10 Minutes Away: Strong student rental demand, short vacancy periods, stable rental returns (two-bedrooms in the area commonly rent for £650–900 per week). 5. Share of Freehold: No typical lease expiry anxiety, clean ground rent structure, more attractive on resale than pure Leasehold. 6. Practical Layout: Open-plan living/dining/kitchen + two double bedrooms, comfortable for self-use, rentable as a whole or as two student rooms. 7. Move-in Ready Amenities: Opposite Sainsbury's, next to Cromwell Hospital, walking distance to museums, no car dependency.
