Summary - 1 Stillwater Drive, Sports City, Openshaw, Manchester, M11 M11 4TD
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable city investment close to Metrolink and Etihad Campus.
1 bed, approximately 486 sq ft
A compact one-bedroom flat in Sports City offered at £85,000 — positioned for buy-to-let or auction investors seeking a city-centre rental. The apartment (approximately 486 sq ft) has a double bedroom, a spacious living room with Juliette balcony, a fitted kitchen and a generous bathroom with separate shower. EPC B and no flood risk are practical pluses for lettings.
Practical advantages include off-street allocated parking, excellent mobile and fast broadband, strong transport links via the nearby Metrolink and close proximity to the Etihad Campus. The lease has around 130 years remaining and the sale is chain-free with Full Funding arranged through the Government Building Safety Fund, which may simplify completion for some buyers.
Important auction and ownership details you must factor in: the property is being sold by modern auction (56-day reservation period). Buyers pay a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600) plus a Buyer Information Pack fee (£349). The property is leasehold with an average service charge of £2,161 and electric room heaters as the main heating source — these are less efficient than gas central heating and could affect running costs and tenant appeal.
The immediate area is inner-city cosmopolitan with many amenities and low crime, but the wider locality is classed as very deprived; consider tenant demand and rent levels accordingly. This is a straightforward, entry-price investment with clear costs and auction conditions — suited to investors who factor in the reservation fees and service charge when calculating yield.
