- Two-bedroom, 700 sq ft apartment with balcony and en-suite to master
- Long lease remaining (approx. 228 years)
- Vacant and marketed for auction (immediate deposit and fees required)
- Section 20 notice for car-park steel and waterproofing works
- Allocated off-street parking included
- Electric room heaters only — potentially higher running costs
- EPC C and council tax Band C
- Close to MediaCity, transport links and student rental demand
This vacant two-bedroom leasehold apartment occupies an average-sized 700 sq ft plan in a modern block close to MediaCity and Old Trafford. The open-plan lounge/kitchen with balcony and an en-suite to the master make it straightforward to let to professionals or students seeking nearby transport links to Manchester city centre.
The long lease (c.228 years) and EPC rating C are practical strengths for buy-to-let buyers. Allocated off-street parking and very low local crime add appeal in a busy, cosmopolitan student neighbourhood. The property will be offered at auction, which can deliver a quick purchase but requires readiness to pay deposit and fees immediately.
Buyers should note material points: a Section 20 notice has been issued to leaseholders for car-park steel and waterproofing works — check the legal pack for liabilities and estimated costs. Service charge and ground rent details are not stated here; prospective purchasers must review the legal pack and budget for the advertised auction administration and buyer’s premium fees.
Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, which can mean higher running costs and reduced tenant appeal for winter lets. The apartment is vacant and in reasonable modern condition but sold as seen; consider a viewing or survey before bidding. Auction purchase rules are strict — read the sale memorandum and legal documents carefully before participating.
