Chain-free one-bedroom first-floor flat
125-year lease; approx. 100 years remaining
Nominal ground rent; service charge £250 per year
Council Tax Band A — very low running costs
Gas combi boiler, radiators and double glazing installed
Communal gardens and off-street parking included
Dated decor and worn carpets — requires cosmetic updating
Area shows high deprivation; consider neighbourhood suitability
A chain-free, one-bedroom first-floor flat offering sensible space and low running costs in a convenient Failsworth location. The layout includes a lounge, fitted kitchen, double-glazed bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a three-piece bathroom with shower over bath. With a 125-year lease (around 100 years currently described) and a nominal ground rent, the tenure is straightforward for buyers and investors.
This apartment has been well maintained and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband — practical features that suit first-time buyers, older couples or landlords seeking a low-management let. Communal gardens and off-street parking add outdoor space and parking convenience not always available at this price point.
Cosmetic updating would unlock more appeal: some rooms show dated decor and worn carpeting, so a modest refurbishment would modernise the flat and increase rental or resale value. The service charge is below average at £250 per year and council tax lies in Band A, keeping ongoing costs low.
Note the wider area scores high on deprivation statistics; the location sits within a self-sufficient retirement classification and a challenged local community profile. Prospective buyers should view in person to judge neighbourhood fit and to confirm condition and exact lease details before committing.
