Compact, contemporary and well-located, this one-bedroom apartment suits investors or a single buyer wanting city-centre convenience. The open-plan living space and small balcony maximise light and views in a modern purpose-built block completed in the early 2000s. With an EPC C and double glazing, running costs are reasonable for a central flat.
This unit is offered fully furnished and currently marketed as a buy-to-let opportunity with a reliable tenant in place, making it easy to pick up rental income from day one. The long lease (237 years remaining) and very low local crime rate add practical reassurance for owners and landlords.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the apartment is compact at 312 sq ft, has no parking and uses electric room heaters rather than gas central heating. Service charges average £1,200 per year and the property is leasehold, so ongoing fees and management rules apply. These factors are typical for central student and city-let stock and should be weighed against the strong transport links and rental demand.
Overall, this is a straightforward, low-maintenance urban investment or starter home. It will appeal most to investors seeking high yield potential or to a buyer wanting immediate, turn-key city living close to Deansgate and local transport nodes.
