A compact studio apartment in the period Sir Thomas House, presented as a turn-key income opportunity in Liverpool city centre. The 2016 conversion keeps a distinctive Victorian façade while offering efficient, modern living space ideal for a single occupier or investor. Current tenancy runs to October 2026, producing strong historic and projected rental yields of around 10% at advertised rents.
Practical running costs should be noted: an annual service charge of approximately £2,154.44 and ground rent of £374. The apartment is leasehold with around 241 years remaining. The 218 sq ft layout is small and best suited to solo living or letting; the compact footprint limits storage and furniture arrangements.
Location delivers clear advantages for city-centre renters and buyers — immediate access to shops, leisure, theatres and colleges, plus excellent mobile signal. Drawbacks include very slow broadband speeds and a very high local crime level, which may affect some owner-occupiers’ comfort and certain tenant demand. Buyers should factor these points into rental assumptions and personal suitability.
Overall this is a straightforward, city-centre investment or starter home for someone who values location and low-maintenance living over space. The property is best for investors seeking an occupied, high-yield asset or first-time buyers prioritising affordability and proximity to central amenities, provided they accept the compact size and local area challenges.
