- Long lease (circa 977 years) and double glazing

This second-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits minutes from Leeds city centre and offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers. The open-plan living and kitchen area opens onto a private balcony, bringing in natural light and flexible space for dining and relaxing. Two double bedrooms and built-in hallway storage make efficient use of the 524 sq ft footprint.
Practical points are clear: the flat is leasehold (circa 977 years remaining), double-glazed and built post-2007, with lift access, secure entry and communal gardens. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property uses mains electricity. Broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for home working or streaming.
Notable costs and constraints are upfront: an average service charge of around £2,000 pa and a ground rent of about £200 pa apply. The internal footprint is compact for a two-bed city apartment and the property sits within a cosmopolitan, predominantly student neighbourhood where recorded crime levels are higher than average — factors to consider for families or those seeking a very quiet street.
Overall this is a modern, low-maintenance flat in a central location that will suit first-time buyers wanting easy access to Leeds and buy-to-let investors seeking a city-centre asset. Buyers should note the electric heating, communal service charges and local area profile when assessing suitability.
