This large two-bedroom duplex maisonette in the heart of Leeds offers clear rental appeal and flexible living over two floors. The open-plan living/kitchen/dining area with floor-to-ceiling glazing and two private balconies creates bright, well-zoned accommodation attractive to sharers, young professionals, and students.
The property sits close to First Direct Arena, Victoria Gate and the financial quarter, supporting strong tenant demand. At approximately 1,271 sq ft, the layout feels unusually generous for a city-centre apartment, with two bathrooms and useful outdoor space on separate levels. A long lease (c.138 years), low ground rent and demonstrable local rental demand strengthen its investment credentials.
Buyers should note material running costs and neighbourhood context. Service charges are approximately £3,580 per year and ground rent is £200 per year. The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels — factors that can affect tenant profiles and insurance or management requirements. Heating is electric underfloor, which can increase energy costs compared with gas systems; glazing is double glazed but install date is unknown.
Overall this maisonette suits investors seeking a city-centre buy-to-let with strong demand and long-lease security, or professionals wanting a spacious, modern base close to central amenities. The size and two balconies offer clear lettable advantages, while service charges, running costs and local area factors should be budgeted for.
