Auction lot: ready-to-let one-bedroom flat near Sefton Park with communal parking.
Lower-ground one-bedroom apartment, self-contained and in good order
A lower-ground, one-bedroom self-contained apartment in a Victorian semi, offered for sale by auction on 23 October 2025. The flat is presented in good order with central heating, double glazing and secure gated access to communal gardens and parking, making it suitable for immediate occupation or letting. EPC rated C and with an estimated rental income of about £9,600 per year, this property suits investors seeking a city-centre letting near Sefton Park or a buyer wanting an affordable pied-à-terre two miles from Liverpool centre.
This is a leasehold sale (150 years from March 2005) with a ground rent of £95 pa and a service charge around £1,900 pa; prospective purchasers should factor these ongoing costs into affordability and yield calculations. The building is a Victorian construction with solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) — buyers seeking energy upgrades should budget for possible insulation work. Council Tax band A keeps running costs low.
Location is a strong positive: a stone’s throw from Sefton Park and Lark Lane’s cafes, bars and shops, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Note the local context: the immediate area is classified as very deprived and crime levels are reported as very high, which may affect desirability for some owner-occupiers and influence lettings and insurance costs. The property will be sold at auction; interested parties must be prepared to bid and complete under auction terms.
