This sixth-floor corner apartment in Montana House offers a compact, well-located two-bedroom home in the heart of Manchester city centre. The open-plan living area with a modern fitted kitchen and good natural light is arranged for low-maintenance city living and suits professional sharers, students or buy-to-let investors. Windows on the corner position give urban outlooks and daylight without direct garden space.
Location is the strongest asset: immediate proximity to Oxford Road station, the universities and the MRI hospital complex supports steady rental demand. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent, and the building holds an EWS1 form with an EPC rated C, which helps mortgageability for many buyers.
Be clear on the practical downsides: the flat is relatively small at 565 sq ft with compact room sizes typical of central apartments. Heating is by electric room heaters (main fuel: electricity) which can mean higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. The property is leasehold with about 103 years remaining, a service charge around £2,244 pa and a ground rent of £100 pa — all material for running-cost and mortgage assessments.
For investors this unit ticks many boxes: strong location for student or professional lets, manageable maintenance and a ready-to-rent layout. For first-time buyers or downsizers looking for central convenience, it offers move-in condition and city living, provided you accept compact accommodation and electric heating costs.
