This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in a 2019 development offers a well-laid-out 613 ft² (approx. 57 m²) open-plan living space and vacant possession. Bright windows and modern finishes make it immediately habitable for an owner-occupier or ready for rental to let quickly. Fast local broadband and close transport links add practical appeal.
As an investment, the flat's long lease (244 years remaining), modest ground rent (£250 pa) and service charge (£1,532 pa) support straightforward landlord budgeting. The property sits in a part of Birkenhead benefiting from local regeneration, and its size and layout are suitable for typical local rental demand.
Buyers should note material drawbacks clearly: the area records high crime and very high deprivation levels, which affect resale and tenant risk. Heating is by electric room heaters (no central gas system), and the EPC sits at D; running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Service charge and ground rent are ongoing costs to factor into yield calculations.
