Compact buy-to-let or starter home near the promenade and town amenities.
Chain free first-floor flat, ready for refurbishment
This chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor flat in central Southport offers a compact, straightforward opportunity for an investor or buyer happy to renovate. The apartment has a bright reception with a fireplace, built-in storage, a separate kitchen area and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobe — a practical layout that’s easy to reconfigure for rental or resale. Proximity to the promenade, Marine Lake and town-centre amenities gives the property strong letting and resale appeal despite its modest size.
The flat requires modernisation throughout: cosmetic and systems upgrades are needed, and heating is by electric room heaters only. Broadband speeds are very slow and the tenure is leasehold — both important factors for buyers to confirm before committing. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as high, and the building sits in a very deprived neighbourhood, which may affect tenant demand and insurance costs.
Positive practical features include off-street paved forecourt parking and no flood risk. Council tax is very low, and the apartment’s straightforward plan makes refurbishment scope clear and manageable for a modest budget. This property suits a hands-on investor seeking rental income or a first-time buyer who can manage renovation and understands the realities of town-centre living.
