Summary - Apartment 3 Lock, 3, The Decks WA7 1GG
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact city apartment with parking and strong rental prospects.
Fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment with canal and river views
A fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment with elevated views over the Manchester Ship Canal and River Mersey. Positioned within walking distance of Runcorn town centre and local rail links to Liverpool, Chester and Manchester, the flat offers good transport connectivity and an allocated off-street parking space. The property is sold with vacant possession and has immediate rental potential (local rents circa £750 pcm) — appealing to investors or a first-time buyer seeking a compact city base.
Practical details: leasehold with about 106 years remaining, ground rent £125 pa and a service charge around £466.15 per quarter. The building has lift access, secure intercom entry and double glazing; EPC is C. Heating is by electric room heaters, which may mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating.
Be realistic about location and upkeep. The surrounding area scores as very deprived with a very high local crime level; the building and the living room will benefit from updating. The apartment will be offered by online auction on 3rd December 2025 (or earlier under auction terms), so buyers should be prepared to proceed under auction conditions.
This apartment suits an investor seeking a let-ready, centrally located unit with parking and canal views, or a first-time buyer wanting an affordable city apartment who accepts modest maintenance and running-cost trade-offs.
