Verta's expert insight

This is the cheapest entry point on our UK list. At around £340 per sq ft you are buying two bedroom city centre stock for less than a one bed costs in Manchester, and Leicester's rental demand is underpinned by two universities and a hospital trust rather than by a single employer.

Be clear that this is a permitted development conversion rather than a full planning consent. That route carries different space standards and a narrower lender panel than a new build, so confirm your lender is comfortable before you exchange. We will tell you which ones are.

The March 2026 completion target has passed and planning conditions were still being discharged in the spring, so treat the programme as unconfirmed. We check the current date with the developer before any reservation here rather than repeating the sheet.

Prices shown are the lowest unit available on the developer's current release and change as units sell, so ask us for the latest availability list before you reserve.
