This second-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies a modern mid-rise block close to Manchester city centre, offering compact city living with two balconies and communal gardens. The layout provides a lounge, kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms — a practical footprint for a first home or a buy-to-let unit.
Key strengths are the chain-free sale, long lease (106 years), and low local crime rate. The building benefits from double glazing and contemporary construction (circa 2003–2006). Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting remote working and digital lifestyles.
Notable drawbacks are the small overall internal area (571 sq ft), absence of a private garden, and main heating via electric room heaters — less efficient and potentially more costly than communal gas systems. Annual charges include a service charge of £1,795.20 and ground rent of £345.66. The property sits in a predominantly student and cosmopolitan neighbourhood, which brings vibrancy but may mean periods of higher local activity and rental market seasonality.
For a first-time buyer this flat offers an affordable city-base with immediate availability and minimal upfront chain complications. For investors the two double bedrooms, dual balconies and near-city-centre location support good rental demand, though factor in service charges, electric heating costs and the local student-dominated catchment when modelling returns.
