Chain-free auction sale; good rental yield and commuter links.
Two-bedroom third-floor apartment with lift access
A modern two-bedroom third-floor apartment with lift access and off-street residents’ parking, offered chain-free and sold via auction. The open-plan living/kitchen area and contemporary bathroom suit renters, first-time buyers with financing ready, or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental potential (estimated £1,000pcm). The building is recent (post-2007) with double glazing and gas central heating; the property has an EPC rating of C.
Practical running costs are clear: a 131-year lease (approximately 130 years stated), service charge around £123–£138pcm and ground rent £150pa. Council Tax is Band B (described as cheap). Good local transport links include Moor Road Metrolink within walking distance, fast broadband and easy motorway and airport access — useful for commuters and airport workers.
Important sale details and risks: the property is sold by the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 including VAT) and complete within the auction timetable (typically 56 days). The property is leasehold; bidders should check the Buyer Information Pack and carry out full legal and survey due diligence before bidding. The local area scores as relatively deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and lettings in some sub-markets.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance modern apartment with clear income potential and commuter convenience. It will suit investors or buyers able to navigate an auction purchase and who accept the obligations of a leasehold flat.
