Double bedroom with built-in wardrobes
Lift access and well-kept communal gardens
Long lease: 137 years remaining; leasehold tenure
Currently let at £1,400pcm — immediate rental income
Located in a very high crime, very deprived area (consider impact)
Built before 1900; walls likely uninsulated and glazing pre-2002
Placed on the second floor of a mid-terrace building, this one-bedroom flat offers a compact, modern living space well-suited to a first home or buy-to-let purchase. The open-plan lounge/kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and opens onto a private balcony — a useful extra for city living and small social occasions. The bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes, and the bathroom is contemporary and straightforward.
Practical features include lift access, communal gardens and an EPC rating of C. The long lease (137 years remaining) provides security for purchasers; the property is offered with no onward chain and is currently let at £1,400pcm, making it immediately income-producing for investors or suitable for buyers seeking instant rental yield.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in an area with very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale and letting profiles. The building dates from before 1900 and walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation; double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not match current thermal standards. Broadband speeds are average.
Overall, this is a compact, city-centre home that balances modern interiors and rental potential against location-related challenges and some energy-performance limitations. It will suit a pragmatic first-time buyer, downsizer or investor who values central access and immediate rental income but is realistic about neighbourhood and retrofit considerations.
