A compact ground-floor apartment in the heart of Liverpool city centre, offered at auction with vacant possession and no chain. The property sits in Regency Chambers, a converted industrial building close to Liverpool One, the waterfront and local nightlife — ideal for investors or buyers wanting central city living. The apartment is small (approximately 539 sq ft) and currently arranged as open-plan living with separate bedroom area and bathroom.
Practical running costs are clear: a 130-year lease remains, annual ground rent £155 and average service charge £1,596. Heating is via electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity; broadband is reported very slow. The building is solid brick (likely no cavity insulation) and dates from 1900–1929, so there may be further maintenance and retrofit considerations.
The location’s strengths — immediate access to transport, shops and the cultural quarter — come with trade-offs. The wider area is classified as a cosmopolitan, multicultural student neighbourhood with very high crime statistics and high area deprivation. Buyers should factor in the managed communal setting, service charges, and the property’s modest internal size when assessing suitability.
This lot is sold via Secure Sale online bidding and will be sold at auction, so prospective buyers should review the terms and arrange viewings promptly. The apartment could suit a city-centre rental investor, a student or young professional seeking convenience, or someone seeking a compact pied-à-terre willing to accept required updates and the area profile.
