Light-filled fifth-floor apartment with parking and strong rental potential.
Two double bedrooms with ensuite to main bedroom
This fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment in Advent 2, New Islington, offers a compact, modern city-base with strong rental appeal. The open-plan living area has floor-to-ceiling glazing and a Juliette balcony that brings light into the 646 sq ft layout. The main bedroom includes an ensuite wet room and a second double bedroom provides flexible rental or sharer arrangements.
Practical features include an allocated secure parking space, integrated kitchen appliances, a generous storage cupboard and an EWS1 certificate (B1). Transport links are excellent — Piccadilly station and the New Islington Metrolink are within easy walking distance — and Ancoats’ cafés and restaurants are nearby, supporting lettings to professionals and students.
Costs to factor in are clear: leasehold tenure with 227 years remaining, annual service charge around £2,633.44 and ground rent of £150 per year. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, which can mean higher running costs. The building was completed in the early 2000s and is system-built; buyers should review management arrangements and service-charge history.
For investors the published expected rental figure suggests an attractive gross yield (c. 8.2% at £1,300pcm). For owner-occupiers the apartment suits those wanting low-maintenance modern living close to Manchester city amenities, but be mindful of running costs and ongoing service charges.
