Summary - Flat 42, Centenary House, 53 North Street, LEEDS LS2 8JB
1 bed 1 bath Studio
Compact, move-in ready city-base close to shops and transport.
City-centre studio with open-plan living and large windows
A bright, compact studio set in the heart of Leeds city centre, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a city-base with long lease security. The open-plan living area benefits from two large windows and contemporary fittings, making the most of the 388 sq ft layout. This is a manageable, move-in ready property for someone wanting central living and easy access to shops, restaurants and transport links.
Practical strengths include 249 years remaining on the lease, a modest annual ground rent of £127 and a below-average service charge of £800 per year. The apartment is offered chain-free and will be sold at online auction with a starting bid of £95,000, which may appeal to buyers looking for a transparent, time-efficient purchase route.
Buyers should note several important drawbacks: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the local area has a high crime rate and higher deprivation indicators. These factors may affect day-to-day comfort and rental appeal. The property is best suited to someone prioritising central location and low upfront costs over high-end utilities or suburban tranquillity.
Overall, this studio represents a cost-effective entry into Leeds city centre living or a compact investment purchase. Viewings (or thorough pre-auction enquiries) are recommended to confirm suitability, particularly for buyers sensitive to heating, connectivity, or neighbourhood safety concerns.
