This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Siding Court offers a compact, low-cost entry into Widnes property market — attractive for investors seeking immediate rental income. The flat is offered with no onward chain and benefits from secure communal access and off-street communal parking. Its 580 sq ft footprint and straightforward layout make it easy to let or reconfigure for improved yield.
The building is a relatively recent purpose-built block (early 2000s) with double glazing and brick façade. Heating is by electric room heaters, so running costs and tenant preferences should be considered. The property is leasehold with a modest ground rent of £100 and council tax in band A, keeping annual outgoings low.
Location provides quick access to a wide range of local amenities and fast broadband and mobile signal — practical for lettings. Nearby schools have strong Ofsted ratings, which can widen tenant appeal to small families. On the downside, the neighbourhood records very high crime and is in a very deprived area, factors that will influence rental pricing, tenant type and insurance costs.
This apartment suits a hands-on investor or landlord prepared to manage a basic, small-layout flat and market it competitively. Cosmetic updating could lift rents; however, consider the local market dynamics and safety-related costs before purchase.
