Affordable coastal investment with low running costs and quick completion.
Marina-facing lounge with pleasant water outlook
Modern kitchen and bathroom — move-in ready condition
Two generous bedrooms across ~683 sq ft
Leasehold tenure — check term and service charges
Sold with no forward chain for quicker completion
Very high local crime rates — affects rental demand and insurance

Very cheap council tax band, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
This two-bedroom leasehold flat sits a short stroll from Whitehaven marina and offers straightforward, low-effort accommodation for buy-to-let buyers or first-time investors. The lounge faces toward the water, giving a desirable outlook, and both kitchen and bathroom are modern and well maintained — reducing immediate refurbishment costs.
The interior is in excellent decorative condition throughout and the layout is traditional with two generous bedrooms across approximately 683 sq ft. Sold with no forward chain, the purchase can be completed quickly. Heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators, and the property has double glazing (installation date unknown).
Key financial points are strong value at the asking price and a very cheap council tax band, which will appeal to tenants. However, the flat is in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates — factors that will affect rental demand, insurance premiums and long-term capital growth.
Practicalities: this is a leasehold property — check remaining term and service charges before committing. There is no flood risk, broadband and mobile signals are good, and the location places shops, cafés and local amenities within easy walking distance of the front door.
