This two-bedroom, second-floor apartment at The Decks offers compact, well-arranged living with commanding views over the River Mersey and both bridges. The open-plan lounge/kitchen maximises the 661 sq ft, while a master bedroom with en suite adds practical convenience for everyday use. Lift access and allocated off-street parking make the building easy to live in.
Practical strengths include a long lease (136 years remaining), very low council tax (band A), and no flood risk. The building was constructed in the late 1990s/early 2000s and benefits from double glazing. The property is offered with no onward chain and suits first-time buyers, investors or those looking to downsize.
Buyers should note key running-cost and area considerations. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can raise energy costs. The surrounding area shows high levels of deprivation and a very high crime score, which will affect resale and rental demand. Ground rent is modest at £125.
Overall this is a practical, affordable apartment with excellent transport links and standout river views. It represents a sensible entry-level purchase or rental investment provided buyers accept the location-related constraints and the likely higher electric heating costs.
