A compact high-floor studio/one-bedroom apartment in The Heart at MediaCityUK, offered with an estimated gross yield of 9% — designed for buyers seeking a straightforward rental income stream. The 11th-floor position delivers strong views and natural light to an open-plan living/kitchen and bedroom area finished to a high specification. Long lease (236 years) and double glazing provide tenure security and lower risk for investors.
MediaCityUK is a recognised creative and broadcast hub with excellent on-site amenities and immediate access to the MediaCity tram stop, which supports tenant demand from creatives, students and commuting professionals. The area scores very low for crime and is described as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood, widening potential tenant pools and short-stay demand.
Costs and constraints are clear: the flat is small at approximately 323 sq ft, broadband speeds are very slow which may affect streaming or home-working tenants, and there is an average service charge of £2,080 and ground rent of £326 per year. Heating is via a community/mains-gas scheme; built circa 2007, the block is modern and generally low-maintenance but this compact unit suits renters rather than families.
Overall this is a purpose-built, easy-to-manage buy-to-let in a high-demand media quarter. It’s best suited to investors targeting short-term lets, young professionals or students where location and transport links offset the small footprint and broadband limitation.
