This corner three-bedroom apartment in The Lightbox offers a high-spec, waterside home in the heart of MediaCity. At about 1,002 sq ft it provides generous living space, a large private balcony with water views and contemporary floor-to-ceiling windows that flood rooms with light. The development’s concierge and immediate access to bars, restaurants and major employers support strong rental demand.
The property is leasehold with 244 years remaining and benefits from very low local crime and excellent mobile signal. Its location — walking distance to the BBC, ITV, University of Salford and cultural venues — makes it especially attractive to professionals and students connected with MediaCity, helping occupancy and re-let prospects.
Buyers should note material running costs: a higher-than-average service charge (£5,288) and an average ground rent (£405). Broadband speeds are reported as very slow in the area, which could affect remote-working tenants or streaming-heavy households. Heating is provided by a community scheme rather than individual gas central heating.
Overall this is a modern, well-specified apartment with clear income and lifestyle appeal because of its location and presentation. It suits investors seeking strong tenant demand or buyers wanting a contemporary city-base, provided they factor in service charges and the limited broadband performance.
