- EPC C and double glazing for reasonable energy efficiency
- Council tax band B — relatively low ongoing costs

- Located in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood, good rental market

This compact two-bedroom apartment in Drapers Field offers straightforward, low-maintenance living with clear rental appeal. The 614 sq ft layout includes a generous reception room and a contemporary kitchen, making it suitable for professionals or students seeking easy access to city amenities and transport links.
Practical running costs are a strength: the home has an EPC rating of C, double glazing installed after 2002, and falls in an affordable council tax band B. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern tenants, while the canal basin location and nearby shops, cafes and bus routes add convenience.
Be clear about the compromises. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which may raise energy costs in winter. The property sits in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, factors that can affect both living comfort and rental demand. Tenure is currently unknown and should be confirmed before purchase.
For investors, the flat’s size, location in a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood and modest price point could yield strong occupancy, but factor in potential management needs and energy costs. For owner-occupiers or first-time buyers, this is an affordable city-base with scope for cosmetic improvement but limited floor area and a single bathroom.
