Set high on the 17th floor of Islington Wharf, this one-bedroom apartment delivers genuine city-centre living with penthouse-style double-aspect views at an affordable price. The building holds an EWS1 B1 certificate, so no cladding remediation work is required, and the property is offered chain-free with an option to include current furnishings for a move-in ready purchase.
The open-plan living and kitchen space benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows, fast superfast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for homeworking and streaming. The communal garden provides low-maintenance outdoor space, and nearby transport links (Piccadilly station and New Islington tram stop) make commuting straightforward.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an average annual service charge of £1,560 and ground rent of £200 per year. The wider location is a cosmopolitan, predominantly student neighbourhood and the local area is classified as deprived, which may mean higher local activity and variable long-term appreciation compared with more residential districts.
The apartment is well suited to investors seeking rental income (estimated around £1,200 pcm) or first-time buyers wanting central Manchester living without a lengthy chain. Practical positives — modern construction (2007–2011), double glazing and a managed building with on-site caretaker — are balanced by the costs and considerations of leasehold living and 17th-floor access.
