Turn-key studio in Liverpool business district — auction start £65,000.
Fifth-floor modern studio, open-plan living, 452 sq ft
A compact, modern studio in Silkhouse Court on the fifth floor, offered with integrated kitchen and contemporary bathroom. The 452 sq ft open-plan layout is fully furnished and ready for immediate let, making it straightforward to manage for a buy-to-let investor.
This unit is marketed for auction with a starting bid of £65,000. The property has a long lease (250 years) and an EWS-1 graded B1. It sits in Liverpool’s business district and is a short walk to Liverpool One, transport links and many city-centre amenities — a location that suits student and city-centre rental demand.
Important cost considerations: the property carries a high annual service charge (£2,101.80) and ground rent (£345), and the local area crime level is recorded as high. The sale is via secure online bidding and the tenancy information in the pack shows differing end dates (one record to 02/10/2024 at £700pcm; another shows tenancy to 07/07/2026 at £750pcm) — buyers should verify the current tenancy and income details in the legal pack.
This is a straightforward investment for someone seeking a turn-key city-centre studio with long lease security and immediate rental potential, but budget and due diligence are essential because of ongoing service charges, ground rent and the neighbourhood indicators.
