Summary - 487 FLAT 2B LYTHAM ROAD BLACKPOOL FY4 1QY
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Low-price buy with garage and private patio, ideal for investors or cheap-entry buyers.
Long lease (960 years) with nominal £5 ground rent
An affordable one-bedroom ground-floor flat offering straightforward, compact accommodation in Blackpool. The layout includes an entrance, lounge/diner, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, plus a private rear patio and an on-site single garage — useful extras for tenants or owners wanting outdoor space and parking. The property sits in a converted early-20th-century building with double glazing and electric storage heating.
This is a clear budget entry for investors or first-time buyers seeking a low-price purchase with immediate rental potential. The long lease (960 years) and nominal ground rent reduce long-term tenure risk. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is very low, which supports affordability and tenant demand.
Notable drawbacks are the area's high crime level and very deprived local context, which will affect marketing, rent levels and mortgage options. The flat appears dated in parts and some communal fixtures may need minor repair or redecoration; heating is electric storage which can be costly compared with gas. EPC rating is E. Buyers should allow for cosmetic updating and check heating costs and insurance in this location.
Overall this is a pragmatic, low-cost opportunity with tangible positives (garage, private patio, long lease) balanced by location-led challenges and some refurbishment needs. It suits an investor targeting affordable city lets or a buyer prepared to improve a compact home for personal use.
