Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, c.668 sqft
A practical two-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Boatman Drive, offered at auction with a low guide price that will appeal to buy-to-let investors or commuters seeking an affordable base. The flat has an entrance hall, lounge, fitted kitchen, master en-suite, second bedroom and a family bathroom spread across approximately 668 sq ft. Double glazing and electric panel heating reduce immediate outlay, while an allocated off-street parking space and communal entrance add convenience.
This property is leasehold with a small ground rent of £205 and will be sold at public auction; a buyer’s administration fee of £1,800 (inc VAT) and the usual auction legal commitments apply. Prospective purchasers should check mortgageability and view the legal pack before bidding — auction purchases are legally binding. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, and the neighbourhood records very high crime levels, factors to consider for lettings and future resale.
For investors the location offers easy access to Hanley, Newcastle-under-Lyme and major roads (A500, A53, M6, A50), supporting commuter demand. The building was constructed in the mid-2000s and is generally low-maintenance, but heating is electric room heaters which can affect running costs and tenant appeal. Overall this is a straightforward, entry‑level investment lot with refurbishment potential and clear auction conditions to review.
