Large two-bedroom city-centre flat with long lease, sold by auction starting £37,000.
Opposite Forster Square train station — excellent transport links
Set in a substantial Victorian conversion on Cheapside, this two-bedroom apartment sits directly opposite Forster Square train station, offering immediate central Bradford access and strong transport links. The flat is offered with vacant possession and a long lease (circa 289 years), making it straightforward for owners or investors to take control after purchase by Modern Method of Auction (starting bid £37,000).
Accommodation is bright and neutral with laminate floors, an open-plan kitchen/living space and two double bedrooms. The property has an EPC rating of C and very low council tax (Band A), which supports rental appeal and low running costs. Total internal area is about 850 sq ft, larger than many city-centre flats.
Buyers should note material, factual considerations: heating is by electric room heaters (no central heating system), glazing is secondary only, and there may be no lift access. The local area is inner-city and multicultural but recorded as very high crime and relatively deprived, which affects both lifestyle and rental values; this is reflected in the auction starting price.
This lot suits investors seeking a low-entry buy-to-let or purchasers wanting a city-centre home for refurbishment. The building’s period character, central location and long lease are positives, but budget for heating upgrades, potential refurbishment and factor/ground rent costs (ground rent noted at £220) when calculating returns.
