Compact city-centre studio with balcony and strong rental yield potential.
Eighth-floor studio with private balcony and city views
This eighth-floor studio apartment in Abito, Greengate, offers compact city-centre living with genuine investment appeal. The open living area with kitchenette, integrated floor-to-ceiling storage and a private balcony maximise the 355 sq ft layout, delivering strong rental returns (advertised 9.1% yield) for investors while remaining affordable for a first-time buyer.
Practical positives include a very long lease (about 130 years), an available EWS1 certificate, double glazing and excellent broadband and mobile signal. The building’s central location places shops, transport links and leisure facilities within easy walking distance — ideal for commuters, students and young professionals.
Be clear on the limitations: the apartment is a small studio (single main room) with electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The service charge is approximately £1,520 per year and there is a modest ground rent of £60; factor these into your affordability or rental calculations. The layout suits single occupancy or couples rather than families requiring separate rooms.
Overall, this property is a straightforward city-centre proposition: low-maintenance modern construction, strong location, and attractive yield potential, balanced against compact living space and electric heating costs. It will suit investors seeking a ready-to-let unit or first-time buyers wanting an affordable entry to central Manchester living.
