Top-floor two-bed with canal views, long lease and commuter links..
Top-floor apartment with private balcony and canal-side views
A top-floor, two-bedroom apartment with a private balcony and canal-side outlook, 82 Hartley Court suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance city living. The apartment is modern in style, bright and well-presented, with two bathrooms and easy access to transport links and the Royal Stoke University Hospital.
Practical ownership details support longer-term planning: the lease has around 232 years remaining, ground rent is modest at £150, and the service charge is reviewed annually. Council tax is low, and the property benefits from excellent mobile signal and straightforward access to the A500, A34 and M6.
Buyers should note important local and property drawbacks: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and area deprivation compared with national averages, and broadband speeds are slow. The property is leasehold and there is an annual service charge and periodic ground rent review, so budget for ongoing fees.
Overall, this apartment offers a strong entry-level purchase with canal views and commuter convenience, balanced by the practical considerations of leasehold costs, local area challenges and limited broadband performance. It’s well suited for someone prioritising location and low-maintenance living, or an investor targeting rental demand near the university hospital.
