Summary - Lockgate Square, Salford, M5 M5 4YU
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Chain-free two-bedroom apartment with balcony and city skyline views, close to Spinningfields.
Chain-free fourth-floor apartment with lift access
A modern two-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor of the sought-after Middlewood Locks development, offered chain-free and ready to move into. The dual-aspect living room with open-plan kitchen and balcony captures clear city-skyline views and plenty of natural light, making the apartment feel larger than its 695 sq ft footprint suggests. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite, while a separate bathroom serves the second bedroom and guests.
Practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with a long lease (991 years remaining) and an EWS1 form at B1 rating. EPC B indicates good energy performance. On the downside, service charges and ground rent are notable (approx. £3,024 service charge and £325 ground rent annually) and heating is via a community scheme rather than an individual boiler, which may affect control and bills. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow in the area.
Located within walking distance of Spinningfields and close to city-centre amenities, transport links and local shops, this apartment suits first-time buyers seeking contemporary urban living or buy-to-let investors targeting strong rental demand from students and young professionals. The local neighbourhood is cosmopolitan and multicultural with very low crime levels, though the wider area records higher deprivation indices.
Viewings will appeal to buyers prioritising move-in-ready condition, skyline views and central convenience; those needing fast broadband, individual heating control or lower ongoing service costs should factor these into their decision.
