Situated on the fifth floor of Britton House in Manchester’s Green Quarter, this two-bedroom apartment offers contemporary city-centre living with strong rental and resale appeal. The open-plan living area opens onto a generous balcony overlooking landscaped communal gardens, and both bedrooms are double-sized with a master en-suite. The flat benefits from secure allocated parking and an EPC C rating.
Practical running costs include an annual service charge (approx. £2,380) and a small ground rent (£250). The property is leasehold with 130 years remaining. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a gas central system, which may affect running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Developer-funded cladding remediation is in place, removing a major uncertainty for buyers.
The location sits within a cosmopolitan, student-heavy neighbourhood in a major conurbation, close to transport, shops and leisure amenities — good for buy-to-let investors and professionals seeking city access. The building was constructed after 2007 and has double glazing and secure off-street parking. Note the wider area is classified with higher deprivation measures, which may influence long-term capital growth in some pockets.
Internally the apartment is in generally good condition but the open-plan living space is compact and some cosmetic updating could personalise the home. Mortgage buyers are welcome, and the long lease plus funded remediation work make this a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-management city flat.
