This fourth-floor two-bedroom apartment in The W3 Building sits on Whitworth Street West, opposite Oxford Road station and close to Manchester universities. Open-plan living connects to a balcony with city views; the large master includes a dressing area and ensuite. Secure parking and a 24-hour concierge add convenience for residents or tenants.
The property is presented as an average-sized, modern apartment (constructed 2003–2006) with double glazing and an EPC C. Projected rental income (£1,500 pcm) gives an estimated 7.3% yield, making it a clear income opportunity for investors or buy-to-let buyers targeting the nearby student and professional rental market.
Notable practical points: the building uses electric room heaters (main heating is electric), the tenure is leasehold with 101 years remaining and a small ground rent (£150). Broadband speeds are average, and the immediate area is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood with higher-than-average local deprivation — strong rental demand but a transient resident mix.
Overall, this is a well-located, turnkey-style city apartment that suits investors or those seeking convenient central living. Buyers should factor in ongoing running costs associated with electric heating, the leasehold terms, and the local market profile when assessing long-term returns or owner-occupation comfort.
