Summary - LOVELL HOUSE, 4 APARTMENT 51 SKINNER LANE LEEDS LS7 1AR
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable city living close to transport and local amenities.
One-bedroom apartment, approximately 469 sq ft (average size)
A compact one-bedroom apartment in Lovell House delivers straightforward city living just minutes from Leeds city centre. The 469 sq ft layout includes a light living room with balcony access, a practical bedroom and a functional bathroom — a tidy, manageable space for a first home or city base.
Built in the mid-2000s with double glazing and electric underfloor heating, the flat is low-maintenance and modern in feel. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working, while the long lease (around 130 years) gives security for buyers. Ground rent is modest at £200 per year.
Buyers should weigh the location trade-offs: Skinner Lane sits within a multicultural, student-heavy neighbourhood and an inner-city area described as very deprived, with crime levels above average. Heating is electric, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas, and the property is leasehold rather than freehold.
For a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city foothold, this apartment offers good connectivity, contemporary fittings and low upkeep. Investors may also note the student catchment and rental demand, but should account for local area factors and running cost considerations.
