This fourth-floor studio in central Liverpool is offered chain-free and ready as a let-ready investment. Recently renovated with a modern open-plan layout, the apartment includes a separate bathroom and compact kitchen and is described as averaging 469 sq ft. An EWS1 certificate is in place and the EPC is Grade C.
The property’s location just off Church Street places it within easy walking distance of major shops, restaurants and transport hubs — practical for short-term tenants, students or commuters. It is currently let at £725pcm, presenting immediate rental income for a buyer seeking a hands-off return.
Buyers should weigh material negatives alongside the positives. The building carries a high annual service charge (£2,000) and ground rent (£373). Heating is by electric room heaters and the property relies on electricity; broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The surrounding area is classed as deprived with very high crime levels — factors that can affect long-term demand and management costs.
Overall, this is a compact, low-maintenance urban flat suited to an investor or purchaser targeting city-centre renters who value location and convenience over premium neighbourhood amenities. The long lease (circa 241 years) and chain-free sale simplify acquisition, but budget for ongoing service charges, validate broadband needs, and consider security measures given local crime statistics.
