This modern one-bedroom apartment in X1 The Plaza, Ancoats, sits within a 2020 development a short walk from Manchester city centre and transport links. Currently let at £1,050 pcm, the flat produces a strong gross yield (c.9%) and a net yield after typical costs (c.6.4%), making it an attractive buy-to-let option for investors seeking immediate income.
The apartment is sold fully furnished and includes a private balcony, city views, on-site gym, bike storage, washer-dryer and overnight security — features that help sustain rental demand in this cosmopolitan, student-friendly neighbourhood. The lease has 231 years remaining and the building benefits from modern construction and fast broadband speeds.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold investment with an annual service charge of c.£1,901 and ground rent of c.£350, which affect net returns and future running costs. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can increase tenant energy bills compared with communal gas systems. The property is currently occupied by a long-term tenant, so purchase would be as a let investment rather than for immediate owner-occupation.
Overall, this is a low-management, centrally located flat offering reliable rental income and strong rental demand from students and city workers. It suits investors who want an income-producing, modern apartment with minimal refurbishment needs, while accepting service charges, ground rent and electric heating as ongoing costs.
