Opportunity to acquire four apartments in one solus block which has been run as a Furnished Holiday Lettings business with existing support system and includes a six year database of guests.

This is a unique opportunity in a perfect letting location.

The Farthings is a freehold solus block containing 4 apartments. All are self-contained and each has a dedicated parking space with bollards accessed via electric gates. They have been run for the last 6 years as Furnished Holiday Lettings and have a support network in place for cleaning, changeovers and maintenance. There is of course an option to do Assured Shorthold Tenancies (projected income of £65k).

The owners have reduced the marketing for Furnished Holiday Lettings and there is an opportunity to maximise the potential by marketing beyond AirBNB with the likes of TripAdvisor, Homeaway, Booking.com, Expedia, and Paws & Stay.

The block is being offer as a turnkey solution with the majority of furniture, linen, crockery and cutlery and an existing network for cleaning and changeovers. Essentially for holiday bookings, the block is pet-friendly.

Each apartment has a video entry system and a fully fitted kitchen including dishwasher, washing machine and microwave.

Meyrick Park public golf course is just off the town centre, there are tennis courts in Bournemouth Gardens and many options for gyms and swimming pools. With the beach and promenade a destination for runners, again you are in a perfect location.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on February 10, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on February 10, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
