Area has high crime rates and significant local deprivation
Older construction with cavity walls likely uninsulated; glazing pre-2002
This well-presented two-bedroom first-floor apartment sits a short walk from Southport’s Promenade, Marine Lake and Lord Street amenities. The open-plan kitchen/living space is bright, helped by a feature bay window, and the accommodation is ready for immediate occupation with contemporary fixtures and a tidy three-piece bathroom.
Practical features include a passenger lift, secure phone-entry system, and off-street parking to the front. The flat is leasehold with 131 years remaining and a service charge of about £1,500 per year (approx. £125 per month). Pets are permitted, which adds flexibility for owner-occupiers.
Considerations: the property is in an area with higher crime and marked local deprivation, and the building dates from the early 20th century with cavity walls that likely lack modern insulation. Double glazing is in place but was installed before 2002. There is no private garden and the accommodation is modest at around 660 sq ft.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance coastal base or investors targeting solid rental demand near transport links and local amenities. Buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and potential retrofit work to improve thermal performance if desired.
