- Ground rent £52 per year; additional lease-related fees possible

Set just a short walk from New Brighton amenities and transport links, this upper-floor one-bedroom flat offers an affordable city-edge base with allocated off-street parking and communal garden. The apartment is compact but well laid out: a generous lounge/diner, a simple fitted kitchen, bathroom with electric shower, and a small bedroom. Fast broadband and average mobile signal make it practical for modern living or rental use.
Buyers should be aware of the lease length: 78 years remaining. This is a material issue that may prevent many mortgage lenders from approving standard lending without a lease extension, which would add cost. The property is in a deprived area and uses electric room heaters; prospective buyers should factor in running costs and potential modernisation requirements.
The flat will appeal to first-time buyers willing to manage lease-extension formalities, and to investors seeking a low-entry-priced rental in a seaside town. Ground rent is modest at £52 pa and council tax is very low, which helps the running costs. A survey is recommended to check services and the condition of fittings before purchase.
Overall, this is a budget-priced upper-floor flat in a convenient location with clear value for buyers prepared to manage the lease and update heating and finishes. Immediate occupation or simple refurbishment could unlock its short-term rental or starter-home potential.
