Affordable modern flat with parking — appeals to hands-on investors.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment with balcony and lift access
A compact one-bedroom apartment on the second floor of a modern block, offered via online auction with secure bidding. The open-plan living room and kitchen open onto a balcony; the building has a lift and one allocated off-street parking space. Double glazing is fitted and the flat was constructed between 2007–2011, giving a relatively modern finish.
Positioned for investors, the vendor cites a potential high yield; the property’s size and council tax band A keep running costs low. The flat is leasehold with 107 years remaining and an annual ground rent of £105. It will be sold at auction under Secure Sale terms — bidders should note the sale conditions and complete pre-auction checks.
Buyers should balance the upside with clear local drawbacks. The area is classified as very deprived with high recorded crime, which may affect tenant demand and capital growth. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which can increase energy costs compared with gas-heated properties.
This unit suits investors seeking a low-entry-price rental asset in Blackburn or first-time buyers comfortable with auction purchase and leasehold ownership. The accommodation is straightforward and low-maintenance but may benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise rental income and long-term value.
