This two-bedroom upper-floor flat in Mayfair Court offers a compact, practical home or rental near Wakefield centre. At about 592 sq ft with a long lease (135 years) and off-street resident parking, it suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a straightforward purchase with no onward chain.
The living room benefits from plenty of natural light and a Juliet balcony; the layout is traditional and easy to furnish. The kitchen has modern-style fittings but shows wear to kickboards and would benefit from cosmetic updating to improve appearance and resale/rental appeal. The bathroom is functional with an over-bath shower.
Heating is by electric room heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel — there is no gas central heating. Windows are double glazed, though install date is unknown. Ground rent is modest at £175; council tax band is low. Note the local area scores high for crime and is in a deprived neighbourhood, which will affect long-term desirability and yields.
Transport links are strong for commuters, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy access to the M1 and Wakefield transport links. Local amenities, parks and several schools (including highly rated options) are within walking distance. Buyers should factor in modest renovation and the urban location when deciding suitability.
