Chain-free one-bedroom ground-floor flat near Urmston town centre, ideal for first-time buyers..
Chain-free ground-floor one-bedroom flat, approx 453 sq ft
Comfortable ground-floor one-bedroom flat close to Urmston town centre, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. The apartment sits in a red-brick mid‑century block with communal grounds and resident parking, making it a straightforward, low-hassle option for a first-time buyer or a downsizer seeking easy access to local shops and transport.
Internally the layout is practical: entrance hall with storage, double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a good-sized lounge with direct access to the grounds, compact fitted kitchen and a bathroom with shower over bath. The tenant-friendly features include double glazing and an electric storage heating system—simple to run but dated in feel.
Financially, the flat is inexpensive to run: very low council tax and a modest service charge of £75 pcm (£900 pa). The property is leasehold with a very long remaining term (around 966 years) and a lease extension in progress to 999 years. There is no ongoing vendor chain, which supports a speedy move.
Important considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are assumed to have no insulation, so comfort and energy bills could be improved by targeted upgrades. The block dates from the late 1960s–1970s and the flat would benefit from some modernisation to reach contemporary standards. Broadband speeds are average. These factors keep the price accessible but mean some updating may be required to maximise comfort or rental income potential.
