Compact investment with tenant and immediate income near transport links.
Tenant in-situ generating rental income
Long lease: 972 years
Service charge & ground rent ~ £1,500/year
Open-plan kitchen reception, maximises space
EPC rating C; council tax band A (very cheap)
Electric storage heating; higher running costs likely
Original stone walls likely uninsulated; some updating needed
Local area: high crime and very deprived neighbourhood
A compact one-bedroom apartment occupying 539 sq ft in a converted mill close to Huddersfield transport links. The flat is currently tenanted, producing rental income and offering immediate cashflow for a buy-to-let investor or portfolio extender. The long lease (972 years) and EPC C are practical ownership positives.
Internally the layout is traditional with an open-plan kitchen/reception that maximises space, a bright double bedroom and a well-kept bathroom. The building retains period character in a brick mill setting and benefits from double glazing and fast broadband — practical for tenants and short-term lets.
Be clear about costs and local context: service charge and ground rent total about £1,500 per year, heating is by electric storage heaters and the building’s original stone walls likely lack modern insulation. The immediate area shows higher crime levels and significant deprivation, which affects tenant profiles and long-term capital-growth prospects.
For investors this is a straightforward income purchase with tenant in situ and reasonable EPC. For owner-occupiers it could suit a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking a compact city-base but expect some cosmetic updating and modest running costs due to electric heating.
