This two-bedroom, brand-new apartment in central Liverpool is offered as an off-plan leasehold unit within a seven-storey development beside the waterfront. The scheme of 67 apartments has been designed for robust rental demand, with elongated windows, neutral interiors and communal amenities — communal garden, concierge, onsite parking and bike storage — aimed at long-term tenants and short-term student lets alike. A 25% deposit is required for purchase off-plan.
Key financial and ownership strengths include a very long lease (900 years), a low service charge (listed as below average) and a low council-tax band, making running costs competitive. The location near Liverpool Waters regeneration and excellent broadband and mobile connectivity support rental demand; marketing materials estimate strong rental returns and capital growth for the area.
Buyers should note material local factors: the property sits in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with high recorded crime and very high area deprivation. The development is marketed primarily for investment, and nearby school performance is mixed. This unit is suited to investors targeting student or young-professional lets and buyers prepared to manage lettings in a dense urban setting.
Internally the apartment shows modern finishes: bright, large rooms with high ceilings at the waterfront side, contemporary bathrooms with walk-in showers and neutral bedroom styling. The apartment offers good potential for consistent rental income but purchasers should weigh the social and safety context of the immediate area when planning tenancy type and rent levels.
