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 (6.0%), 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.

Accurate valuation advice can be key to selling your home for the best price and in the right timescale. If you are asking too much, it will inevitably lead to no viewings or offers and the property will become stale before you know it. Of course, advertising too cheaply can often result in achieving a low sale price. The asking price needs to be right from the onset.
At Southgate Estates, we promise to always give honest and well researched advice. We spend time with our clients explaining how we have arrived at our valuation and make genuine recommendations on how to best market every home.
We offer free valuations and never use hard sales techniques to push clients into signing up on the day.
