Summary - 5 PORTLAND GATE WAKEFIELD WF1 3QE
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Bright open-plan apartment near Wakefield city centre ideal for first-time buyers.
Chain-free first-floor apartment with long 983-year lease
A chain-free, first-floor two-bedroom apartment with an open-plan living area and Juliette balcony, finished to a high standard. The large open-plan lounge/kitchen creates a bright, flexible living space; integrated appliances, spot lighting and generous windows add contemporary convenience. Both bedrooms are doubles, with an en-suite to the principal, and there is a main bathroom — useful for sharers or guests.
Practical extras include an allocated off-street parking space and communal garden, long lease (983 years) and an EPC rating of C. The property sits a short walk from Wakefield city centre, transport links and amenities, making it convenient for commuting and everyday life.
Be aware of material running costs: a relatively high service charge (£2,147.33pa) and a small annual ground rent (£200). Broadband speeds are very slow locally and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average; factor these into commuting, working-from-home and security plans.
This property suits a first-time buyer wanting a low-maintenance city-base with move-in-ready presentation, or an investor seeking a centrally located two-bed with straightforward management. The long lease removes leasehold timing concerns, but running costs and local connectivity should be considered before purchase.
