Summary - Apartment 70, 8, Commercial Street M15 4QY
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Long-lease flat close to Deansgate, universities and transport — strong rental appeal.
Chain-free one-bedroom apartment, approximately 700 sq ft
A spacious, chain‑free one-bedroom apartment in Hill Quays, just south of Manchester city centre. The 700 sq ft open-plan flat feels larger than typical city units, with a north‑west aspect that brings good daylight into the living space. Modern integrated kitchen fittings and a contemporary three-piece bathroom suit buyers seeking a move-in-ready urban home or a straightforward rental.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (989 years), an EWS1 certificate, on-site gym facilities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Transport links and walkable access to Deansgate, the university quarter and First Street’s cafés and restaurants make this a convenient base for professionals and students alike. The building’s 2007–2011 construction and double glazing are further positives.
Be clear about running costs and location character: heating is electric with room heaters, which can be more expensive than gas systems. The property sits in a cosmopolitan, largely student neighbourhood within a deprived wider area, so expect a lively, mixed environment and possible short‑term rental demand. There is a medium flood risk recorded for the postcode — buyers should confirm insurance availability and premiums.
Overall, this apartment is well suited to first‑time buyers wanting a low‑work city home or investors seeking a rental in a high-demand student/professional pocket. The long lease and chain-free status simplify purchase; factor in higher running costs from electric heating and the neighbourhood character when assessing suitability.
