Set on Seel Street in Liverpool city centre, this compact studio offers an affordable entry into the property market or a predictable rental buy-to-let. The apartment sits in a contemporary development with secure entry, lift access and communal outdoor space, close to transport links, shops and many student amenities.
The interior includes a modern fitted kitchen and open-plan living space configured for efficient city living. The long lease (989 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase, and the seller can consider a sale with tenant in situ or vacant possession to suit buyers.
Buyers should note practical trade-offs: the property relies on electric room heaters, mains electricity only, and broadband speeds in the building are reported very slow. Service charges average £1,788 and the local area records very high crime levels—factors that affect living costs, comfort and rental demand.
This is best suited to first-time buyers wanting an economical city-base or investors targeting student and short-term rental demand. The building’s low council tax and central position support letting potential, but budget for higher service charges, heating costs and consider security measures given the local crime statistics.
