Compact, long-lease flat near Temple Meads — auction sale, buyer fees apply.
Top-floor one-bedroom flat, approx 431 sq ft
A compact top-floor one-bedroom flat in Totterdown, offered chain-free through a modern auction route. At about 431 sq ft, the apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city base or an investor after a central Bristol rental. The long lease (988 years) removes immediate lease-length concerns; mains gas central heating and double glazing are already in place.
Location is a key selling point: excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and direct public transport links, with Temple Meads within easy reach. Local shops, cafés and amenities are a short walk away, and nearby schools include several well-regarded options. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
Buyers must note this sale is by Modern Method of Auction. An undisclosed reserve price applies and a non-refundable reservation fee and buyer’s fees are payable on completion. The auction process requires due diligence — the buyer information pack should be reviewed and missing queries investigated before bidding.
Practical considerations: the flat is small and top-floor access may not suit everyone. The building dates from the 1950s–60s with likely solid brick walls and no known insulation, so further thermal improvements may be advisable. The local area records higher crime and deprivation statistics; prospective buyers should assess neighbourhood suitability and check details in the legal pack.
