Modern two-bedroom city apartment with balcony, parking and long lease — ideal for investors..
Upper-floor 2-bed apartment with private balcony and city views
Situated on an upper floor of Citygate 2, this two-bedroom apartment offers contemporary living and reliable rental appeal in a busy Manchester district. The open-plan living room flows onto a private balcony with city views, while a high-end kitchen and sleek bathroom complete the main living areas. With 839 sq ft, the apartment feels roomy for a city flat and includes an allocated underground parking space accessed via fob gates.
The property presents a long lease (approximately 172 years remaining) and clear running costs: service charge around £1,592 per year and ground rent £121.58 per year. Building insurance has historically been included in the service charge; the current premium is pending but is expected to fall following completion of most cladding work. These costs are important to factor into yield calculations or monthly budgeting.
Located in a multicultural, student‑oriented neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the flat suits investors seeking strong letting demand or professionals wanting easy transport links and local amenities. Crime levels are very low and the area is broadly affluent, supporting both capital and rental prospects.
Buyers should note the building remains subject to past cladding remediation works; while most work is finished and premiums should reduce, full final costs and insurance confirmation are awaited. The flat is offered on a leasehold basis — check tenure details if owner-occupying buyers require mortgage or resale specifics.
