This well-presented two-bedroom first-floor flat in Moorfield Chase offers an affordable entry to homeownership or a straight-forward buy-to-let in Farnworth. The apartment has a practical layout with a large living room, two double bedrooms and a modern kitchen and bathroom, all in good decorative order. EPC rating C and double glazing help with energy performance, though heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central gas system.
Financial running costs are clear: a long lease (circa 879 years), low ground rent (£50 pa) and a service charge of about £100 pcm (£1,200 pa average). Council Tax sits at Band A, keeping yearly taxes low—useful for first-time buyers managing monthly outgoings or landlords calculating yields.
The block sits in a modern complex with communal gardens and parking, and benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds plus good commuter links to Manchester. Local amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. Prospective buyers should note the neighbourhood scores as very deprived in area deprivation indices, which may affect resale prospects and rental demand in parts.
Ideal for a first-time buyer wanting an affordable, ready-to-live-in home, or an investor seeking a low-entry rental in a major conurbation. The flat is small (around 543 sq ft) and heating will be cheapest to upgrade to central heating in future if preferred; otherwise it is immediately habitable with modest maintenance required.
