Situated in a multicultural student neighbourhood — strong rental demand possible
A one-bedroom apartment in a converted warehouse on Mirabel Street, offered at auction with strong city-centre location credentials. The open-plan living room, exposed brick and large windows deliver industrial character and good natural light across 486 sq ft. An EPC C and double glazing are positives for running costs, while council tax is described as affordable.
The apartment sits in a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood close to Deansgate, the Arndale and major rail/tram links at Victoria — useful for buy-to-let or a first-time owner who values walking access to central Manchester amenities. The flat is practical now: integrated kitchen, tiled bathroom with overhead shower, wood flooring throughout and a double bedroom.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property sold by the Modern Method of Auction. A non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) plus a £300 buyer information pack fee applies. The sale timetable requires exchange completion within 56 days of contract draft, so allow time for mortgage and legal checks.
The building retains original construction features: solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and electric storage heating. These elements preserve character but may increase long-term heating costs and limit immediate energy-efficiency improvements without further works. The 100-year lease remaining and modest ground rent (£150) are favourable for a leasehold purchase, but prospective buyers should complete full due diligence before bidding.
