This second‑floor two‑bedroom apartment in Bishopsgate House offers a straightforward move‑in option for first‑time buyers or buy‑to‑let landlords. The open-plan living area benefits from large glazing and a Juliet balcony with views over the Coventry Canal, creating a bright, modern living space. The property is vacant with no upward chain and comes with secure gated parking for one vehicle. A new water heating system was installed in September 2025 and 12 months of service charges have been paid, reducing immediate running headaches.
Internally the layout is practical: two double bedrooms, a compact fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a tiled family bathroom. At about 614 sq ft the flat is modest in size but well proportioned for city‑centre living. The long lease (109 years remaining) and EPC rating C make this a sensible short‑term rental or first‑home purchase with lower risk than many shorter‑lease apartments.
Buyers should note material ongoing costs: the annual service charge is around £2,564 and ground rent is £100 per year. Heating relies on electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can be more expensive to run. The property sits in a generally deprived part of the city and communal areas are standard for a modern apartment block, not landscaped private gardens.
Overall this is a tidy, low‑maintenance apartment ready for immediate occupation or letting. The combination of no upward chain, secure parking and recently updated hot water equipment is attractive for buyers seeking a quick purchase with straightforward management, but budget for service charges and potentially higher electricity bills.
