Summary - Apartment 1 Castle Chambers, 5, Clifford Street YO1 9RG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact modern apartment with long lease and proven rental history.
City centre location, minutes from Clifford's Tower and riverside amenities
Situated in York city centre, this one-bedroom, first-floor apartment offers straightforward city living with strong rental appeal. The open-plan living area and fitted kitchen with Bosch appliances provide a modern, low-maintenance interior that has previously operated successfully as a long-term let.
Practical ownership details are investor-friendly: a new-build lease with 990 years remaining, no ground rent and chain-free sale simplify purchase. Residents benefit from secure entry, two lifts, dedicated cycle storage, a communal utility area and ventilated bin store.
Buyers should note material drawbacks factually: the area records very high crime levels and the property relies on electric heating and room heaters. Broadband speeds are reported very slow, and the annual service charge is £1,906.20. These factors affect running costs and tenant attraction and should be considered alongside the city-centre location and rental history.
Overall, the apartment suits investors seeking a city-centre, low-refurbishment buy-to-let with long lease security. It will also work for a single buyer wanting a compact, modern base in central York, provided they accept the local area characteristics and service costs.
