A compact one-bedroom first-floor flat in Bradford city centre, offered at a low entry price. The building presents a neoclassical façade with large windows; inside the apartment is open-plan and efficiently arranged across about 345 sqft. The long lease (244 years) removes immediate lease-length risk and council tax is very cheap.
This property is best suited to investors or buyers seeking an affordable city-centre base. Its location in a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood gives clear rental demand potential for single tenants or students. The layout’s open-plan living area and street-facing bedroom benefit from natural light.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area records very high crime levels, the block’s main heating is electric room heaters (no central heating), and mains utilities/fixtures are untested. Service charge (£1,440 pa) and ground rent (£200 pa) are payable and will affect yield and running costs. The flat is small and suited to single occupancy; some cosmetic updating could improve rent or resale value.
Overall, the flat offers extremely low purchase price and long lease length — attractive for a buy-to-let starter or a budget-conscious first-time buyer prepared to accept inner‑city risks and modest living space. Independent inspection and a rental-income assessment are recommended before offer.
