A compact duplex apartment in Sky Gardens, Castlefield, positioned for steady rental income and city-centre convenience. The property presents an open-plan living area with double-height glazing, a mezzanine, and contemporary fixtures — Neff appliances and quality bathroom fittings — making it move-in ready for tenants.
The development offers practical on-site benefits: concierge service, fob access, communal rooftop garden and a Tesco on the ground floor, all increasing tenant appeal. Transport connections are excellent with Cornbrook tram stop nearby and Deansgate within walking distance, helping sustained demand from professionals and students.
Key financial facts are straightforward: a quoted 7.8% rental yield, 141 years of lease remaining, annual service charge £3,071.56 and ground rent £300. The apartment is small at 528 sq ft, so income is driven by efficient use of space rather than size. Prospective buyers should weigh the relatively high service charge and the local area’s deprivation level against the strong rental market and low crime rate.
