This chain-free, ground-floor two-bedroom flat in LS17 offers an affordable entry into a popular north Leeds pocket. Recently redecorated throughout, the apartment is light and south-facing, with a spacious living room overlooking leafy communal gardens and two double bedrooms that suit a small family or sharers. At about 643 sq ft, the layout is traditional and practical, with a fitted kitchen (plumbing for washer/dishwasher) and a bathroom with a shower over bath.
Practical running costs are low: gas central heating, double glazing, and a modest service charge (£624 pa) and ground rent (£10 pa). The 89-year lease is workable but below the ideal 100+ year benchmark — an important consideration for mortgage lenders and future resale. On-street parking is plentiful but there is no private parking.
Location is a strong selling point for local buyers: Moor Allerton District Centre and Moortown Corner are within easy reach, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. Note the property sits in a high-crime, very deprived area statistically, which may affect long-term capital growth and rental demand. The building is mid-20th century with concrete floors and ceilings and filled cavity walls — robust but not period charm.
Overall this flat suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance, ready-to-move-in home with communal outdoor space and good local amenities. Buyers sensitive to lease length or neighbourhood crime levels should investigate lease extension costs and local crime trends before proceeding.
