Buying a property is considered a sound investment – but it doesn’t have to be a conventional home. From owning a bedsit, to a restaurant, we take a look at a few alternative investment opportunities in London that we have for sale.
Serving up a sound investment
Marchmont Street, Bloomsbury, WC1 - 4 bedroom building, £4,300,000
This stunning building is made up of four luxurious one bedroom apartments, each including beautiful period features and high-quality fittings. What really makes this building stand out though, is that it also comes with a recently refurbished Greek restaurant. Paying rent of £35,000 a year, the restaurant provides fantastic additional income.
Brilliant bedsit
Huron Road, Heaver Estate, SW17 - 12 bedroom house, £2,500,000
This large period building is currently arranged into 12 individual bedsits, each including a kitchenette and every floor offering a shower room or bathroom. The building also comes with a rear garden, as well as a large basement.
Onsite investment
Finborough Road, Chelsea, SW10 - 2 bedroom flat, £750,000
This sale comprises a stunning one bedroom flat with beautiful traditional features and a good-sized balcony, as well as a self-contained studio flat in the same striking period building. This setup provides the possibility of living in either property, while renting the other one out as an on-site investment – perfect for those wanting some help paying off the mortgage, but who don’t want to share their home.
Room to grow
Avenue Road, Kingston, KT1 - 4 bedroom house, £750,000
Whether you’re anticipating a growing family or looking to make a profit in the resale, this four bedroom house could be for you. It comes with planning permission for a side and rear extension, as well as a loft conversion, meaning plenty of opportunity to transform this property into either a savvy investment or your dream home.
Lay of the land
Land rear of Staples Road, Loughton, IG10 - £99,999
Situated in Loughton moments from the amenities along the High Road, this large plot of land is set on a tree-lined residential road and backs onto Epping Forest. The potential to apply for planning permission means that this plot of land could be transformed into whatever your imagination conjures up (as long as it gets approved, of course).
Project with potential
Brunswick Avenue, Brunswick Park, N11 - 3 bedroom house, £475,000
Looking for a new home but a design project as well? This three bedroom house is in need of a full refurbishment, providing the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to let their creativity (and tool box) run wild, with the potential of making a tidy profit at the end of it.
