Property description & features

  • 1 & 2 Bedroom Flats
  • Current Rental Income £28,690
  • Potential to Increase Rents
  • Good Decorative Condition
  • Central Location
  • Fantastic Investment Opportunity
Cheeke Mews consists of four self-contained apartments located above the shops of Exeter's Sidwell Street, close to the Bus Centre and John Lewis. All of the flats are generously proportioned, are in good decorative order and are currently rented under Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreements.

The flats currently generate an income of approx £28,690 (6.4%), although current rental valuations suggest the rents could be increased to provide a gross yield in excess of £32,000. Located close to the city centre and Exeter University, this represents an excellent investment opportunity.

This region of Exeter has recently received much investment, which includes the ongoing redevelopment of the bus station to a leisure facility, as well as the construction of many bespoke student complexes, etc.

    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

    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
