This compact 22 sqm studio in Liverpool One offers immediate rental income with long leasehold security. Tenanted and managed, it suits investors wanting a hands-off buy-to-let in a busy city-centre location. The EPC B rating and excellent mobile signal are practical positives for letting in a student and urban rental market.
The layout is one open living space with fitted kitchen, shower room, wardrobe storage and floor-to-ceiling windows delivering good natural light for the size. Service charge and ground rent are payable—2025 service charge £2,810 p.a.; ground rent reviewed every five years (RPI). There is proven rental potential of about £750 pcm.
Buyers should note material negatives: the building sits in a very high crime area, broadband speeds are very slow, and heating is by electric room heaters which can raise running costs. The apartment is compact and suited primarily to single occupants or tenants rather than families.
Overall this is a clear short-term income opportunity: long lease (approx. 987 years remaining), management company in place and tenants in situ reduce immediate work, while the location within Liverpool One supports steady tenant demand. Investors should budget for higher service charges, possible utility costs from electric heating, and limited appeal to non-student/long-stay renters.
