Summary - Apartment 19 Lock, 4, The Decks, RUNCORN WA7 1GH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact investment with secure parking and lift access close to transport.
River-facing third-floor apartment with water views
A compact two-bedroom apartment with a direct river view, offered for sale via modern auction. The flat sits on the third floor of a contemporary purpose-built block with secure communal entry, lift access and an allocated parking space. Long lease (136 years) and no onward chain make this a straightforward purchase route.
The interior provides a living room with open-plan kitchen, two double bedrooms including an en-suite to the principal, and a family bathroom. The apartment is electrically heated with room heaters and has double glazing; this keeps initial maintenance simple but may mean higher running costs than gas-heated homes. The property measures about 574 sq ft — genuinely compact but efficient for a rental or first-step purchase.
Be aware of material costs: an above-average service charge (approximately £2,629 pa) and a modest ground rent (£125 pa). The sale is by modern auction and will involve a non-refundable reservation fee and a Buyer Information Pack – prospective buyers should budget for these additional costs and satisfy themselves on finance before bidding. The neighbourhood records high crime and significant local deprivation, which will affect resale and lettability values despite excellent transport links and nearby amenities.
