Chain-free two-bedroom flat with long lease and gated parking—ideal low-cost investment.
No onward chain; vacant fourth-floor flat with far-reaching views
A vacant, chain-free two-bedroom flat on the fourth floor with far-reaching views, suited to investors or first-time buyers looking for a low-entry purchase in Burslem. The apartment offers an open-plan kitchen/living room, two bedrooms and a white four-piece bathroom suite, plus a utility cupboard and communal hallway access. A gated car park provides an allocated off-street parking space.
Practical strengths include a long lease (230 years remaining), double glazing and simple electric heating, making the property easy to manage for a landlord. The building is modern (constructed 2003–2006) and the flat has a balcony and contemporary brick exterior. Council tax is low and ground rent is modest at £140 per year.
Buyers should note material negatives: the overall size is small (approximately 566 sq ft), the interior is described as dated and may need renovation, and heating is by electric room heaters rather than central heating. The area records high crime and very high deprivation scores, which may affect rental demand and resale values despite good local schools and fast broadband. EPC rating D.
This is a straightforward, low-price purchase with clear rental or refurbishment potential. It will appeal to investors seeking a budget buy-to-let or buyers prepared to update the interior to improve comfort and capital value.
