Set within a lively, well-connected part of Leicester, this one-bedroom leasehold flat offers straightforward city living with strong rental or first-home potential. The apartment sits in a modern block constructed in the mid-2000s, with double glazing, gas central heating and a bright open-plan living space facing large windows.
The accommodation is practical and low-maintenance: a double bedroom, modern shower room, fitted kitchen and well-kept communal areas. A long lease (978 years) and mains gas boiler are reassuring ownership details; council tax is very cheap which helps running costs.
Important sale details: the property is offered by the Modern Method of Auction. Successful bidders sign a Reservation Agreement and pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT). There is also a Buyer Information Pack fee payable by the purchaser. Service charges average around £1,200pa with a small ground rent of £250pa.
Location is a key asset — immediate access to buses, trains, shops, De Montfort University and Leicester Royal Infirmary. The area is popular with students and young families, but note local indices show very high deprivation and above-average crime rates; buyers should weigh location advantages against these factors.
