A compact, high-floor one-bedroom apartment in Westpoint, Old Trafford, presented as a hands-off buy-to-let with a long-term tenant in place until October 2026. The building includes useful resident amenities—gym, co-working space, laundry and a residents’ lounge—helping support strong tenant retention and streamlining management for portfolio buyers. Bills are included in the service charge, simplifying income forecasting and day-to-day tenancy administration.
The flat is finished in a contemporary, low-maintenance style with an open-plan living/kitchen, large full-height windows and engineered wood flooring. The property footprint is modest at 435 sq ft and suits single professionals or couples; the high-floor position gives broad city views that enhance rental appeal despite limited internal space.
Important investment facts are clear: advertised 13.9% rental yield, cash buyers only, leasehold with 244 years remaining, annual service charge around £3,284.76 and ground rent £250. The building uses a community heating scheme and broadband speeds are average. Council Tax Band B is modest, but the wider local area is classified as very deprived—regeneration activity nearby supports potential capital growth but also reflects present social and economic challenges.
This is a practical, income-focused purchase for investors seeking immediate yield and low hands-on management. The combination of long lease, included bills, on-site amenities and tenant in situ offers immediate returns; however, the small internal area and the local area’s deprivation profile should be weighed when forecasting long-term capital appreciation.
