1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable one-bedroom with yard and long lease, ideal for rental returns.
Long lease (999 years from 21/09/1990) — c.998 years remaining
Private rear yard — useful storage or tenant outdoor space
One double bedroom; lounge generous for size

Council Tax Band A — low running costs for occupants
Public notice/repossession registered — important legal factor
Local area: higher crime and area deprivation levels
This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Astley Road offers a compact, low-maintenance footprint and clear rental potential for investors. The long lease (999 years from 21 Sept 1990) and private rear yard make it practical for letting or a straightforward first purchase. The living room and bedroom are roomy for the flat’s size, and double glazing plus mains gas central heating are already in place.
The property is in a challenged local market with higher crime rates and area deprivation indicators; nearby amenities, schools and coastal towns improve tenant demand. The interior shows signs of age: the kitchen is dated and would benefit from modernization to lift rental value, while overall presentation is basic rather than high-spec.
Practical points: leasehold tenure with c.998 years remaining, council tax band A (low), EPC stated as D, and a public notice/repossession is recorded. These are material details for buyers and investors to factor into pricing and finance. With a modest refurbishment budget this flat could produce reliable rental income or serve as an affordable entry into the local market.
