This bright first-floor corner apartment in City Gate offers easy city-centre living with generous space and modern finishes. The open-plan living area and integrated kitchen create a social hub, while two double bedrooms and two bathrooms suit sharers, couples or a first-time buyer seeking room to grow.
Practical benefits include secure allocated off-street parking, a long lease (123 years) and recent cladding remediation funded by the developer; an EWS1 is due and a developer ‘Letter of Comfort’ is currently available. At about 848 sq ft the flat is larger than many city-centre one-bed alternatives and feels airy thanks to corner aspect and plentiful natural light.
Be aware of notable costs and running specifics: the quoted service charge is very high (£29,920) and the property uses electric room heaters which can be more expensive than gas heating. The tenure is leasehold with a small ground rent of £125. The local area is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood close to Deansgate and Spinningfields, which brings excellent transport and leisure options but can mean busier streets at times.
Overall, this is a well-presented, low-crime, conveniently located flat that suits first-time buyers or investors wanting an immediately lettable city-centre asset — provided the service charge and electric heating are acceptable to them.
