Affordable town-centre buy suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Town-centre first-floor apartment, easy walk to train and bus stations
A compact one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Selby, offered at an accessible price point. The flat occupies first-floor accommodation in a period mixed-use building and suits buyers seeking a town-centre base or a straightforward rental investment. The bright reception room retains a period fireplace, and the double bedroom is well proportioned for the size.
Practical details favour budget-conscious purchasers: a low council tax band, a long lease (reported 980 years remaining), below-average service charge (£835) and modest ground rent (£150). Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the property suitable for modern working habits, and the station and bus links are within easy walking distance.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the overall floor area is small (around 371 sq ft), the surrounding area is classified as deprived with very high local crime levels, and the neighbourhood profile includes a transitional Eastern European community and constrained renters. The location’s town-centre conveniences—shops, cafes, and services—are a strong plus, but the setting may not suit those seeking a quieter suburban environment.
This apartment is most appropriate for first-time buyers seeking an entry-level home close to transport and amenities, or investors looking for a low-price let in a central location. Any purchaser should arrange their own inspections and checks on services, structure and safety before committing.
