the Local Experts Say;
The Empire Sports Club is very close to my heart in its previous incarnation. A building I know well and which I think has huge potential as a residential development. The combination of contemporary interiors in this beautiful period façade, in such close proximity to both the city centre and the motorway network, will be highly desirable to professional tenants. The area can be described as on the up and with competitive sale prices and the potential rental returns, I think it presents a great opportunity for investor landlords.
I would expect the 1 bedroom apartments to achieve in the region of £750 - £850 PCM, the 2 bedroom apartments and maisonettes between £1000 - £1100 PCM, and the 2 bed houses and 3 bedroom apartment between £1150 and £1250.
I am very happy to discuss the development and the potential for rental with interested parties and can be contacted on 0117 973 5237 or Deborah@bristolreslet.com.
