This two-bedroom conversion sits on York Street in the Ropewalks district, close to Liverpool ONE, Albert Dock and a wide range of bars, restaurants and student amenities. The apartment offers an open-plan living/kitchen, two double bedrooms and a single bathroom in a mid-sized city-centre layout that attracts lettings demand.
Practical strengths include a long lease (228 years), double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for students and professionals. The building is a converted early-20th-century red-brick warehouse with communal access and lift, creating easy management for a landlord or low-maintenance first purchase.
Notable running costs and constraints are the service charge (£2,150 pa) and ground rent (£150 pa). Heating is by electric room heaters and the building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation, which may increase energy bills and present an upgrade opportunity. There is no private outdoor space and the apartment faces a busy urban street.
For investors, the property’s central location within a multicultural student neighbourhood supports strong rental uptake, though tenant turnover can be higher and noise levels may be elevated. For owner-occupiers, the layout and proximity to city amenities suit first-time buyers seeking convenient, low-maintenance city living.
