A vacant two-bedroom apartment on Duke Street, a short walk from Liverpool One and Chinatown, offers clear rental and short-term relet potential in a busy city-centre pocket. The property sits within a Georgian building with high ceilings and arched windows that provide period character and kerb appeal.
Arranged over the second floor, the flat includes an open-plan lounge/kitchen, master bedroom with ensuite shower, a second bedroom and a bathroom. It is heated by electric storage heaters and has wood flooring; the layout is straightforward and presents sensible cosmetic upgrade opportunities for an investor or landlord.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold (approx. 108 years remaining), sold via auction with immediate buyer obligations and additional fees (administration fee and buyer’s premium). Broadband speeds are very slow locally and the neighbourhood records very high crime levels — both factors to weigh for lettings or short-term lets.
This lot suits a cash or finance-ready buyer comfortable with auction purchase terms, quick completion requirements and modest refurbishment to maximise rental income. Energy performance is middling (EPC D), and the building’s solid brick construction likely needs insulation consideration if targeting longer-term tenant comfort and running-cost savings.
