Compact modern flat with easy commute and strong rental potential.
520 sq ft one-bedroom, bright open-plan living area
This second-floor, one-bedroom apartment in The Linx offers a compact, modern city-base with strong transport links and clear rental appeal. The open-plan living/kitchen creates a bright, usable space while a generous double bedroom and modern bathroom complete the layout. With 130 years remaining on the lease, a low annual ground rent (£112.50) and a below-average service charge (£896.08 per year), the running costs are straightforward and attractive to first-time buyers and investors.
Set in a lively, multicultural student neighbourhood within walking distance of Victoria and Piccadilly stations and the Arndale Centre, the flat benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — strong positives for renters or a commuter owner. The building provides coded entry, lift access and a quiet residents’ courtyard, bringing practical convenience and added security.
Buyers should note the central location brings typical city-centre trade-offs: potential street and neighbourhood noise, particularly given the student-oriented surroundings, and a compact overall footprint at about 520 sq ft. The apartment is presented in contemporary condition with integrated kitchen appliances, but periodic upkeep and cosmetic updating may be needed over time to maximise rental yields or resale value.
Overall, this property is well-suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable route into Manchester city living or investors targeting high-demand inner-city lets. Clear running costs, long lease length and excellent connectivity make it an easy-to-manage ownership proposition in a busy urban setting.
