A compact one-bedroom studio with en-suite, sold chain-free and offered via the Modern Method of Auction. The flat sits in a purpose-built student block (constructed c.2003–2006) and includes built-in furniture and access to a communal lounge and fitted kitchen — an easy, low-effort let for student tenants.
Practical details matter: the property is leasehold, will be sold at auction with a non-refundable reservation fee (3.5% subject to minimum £6,600 plus VAT), and is subject to an undisclosed reserve. Heating is by electric room heaters, glazing is double glazed, and the EPC is graded D.
Location gives income potential: PR1 lies close to university and local amenities, making the apartment suitable for short-to-medium term student lets. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is affordable and flood risk is low.
Important negatives are straightforward: the neighbourhood records very high crime and the wider area is classified as deprived. The accommodation is small, uses electric heating only, and will require buyers to accept auction-sale terms and the reservation fee. Prospective purchasers should review the legal pack and be prepared for leasehold and communal-management obligations.
