Electric room heaters — higher running costs than gas central heating
Located in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with strong rental demand
Set on the third floor of the Lincoln Gate development in Manchester’s Green Quarter, this one-bedroom flat offers compact, modern living with strong transport links to Victoria Station and Deansgate. The open-plan living and dining area and integrated kitchen deliver a light, low-maintenance city home suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking easy access to the city centre.
The apartment is cleanly presented with a generous double bedroom and contemporary bathroom. Double glazing and a build date of 2003–2006 mean the property is relatively modern; heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas central heating, which may affect running costs. The development is secure and popular, but service charges and ground rent apply.
Important sale details: this is a leasehold property with a long lease (c.976 years) and will be sold at auction. Buyers should note the auction process includes a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and completion timings that support mortgage finance. A Buyer Information Pack is available but buyers must carry out their own due diligence.
The location sits within a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood offering strong rental demand and nearby amenities, but the wider area is classed as very deprived. This creates potential for rental yield and capital growth for investors, while first-time buyers gain a ready-made city base with excellent connectivity.
