Newly renovated, low-maintenance apartment ideal for city living or rental income.
Fourth-floor flat with private balcony and far-reaching city views
Bright, newly renovated two-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor of the City Island development, offering easy city living and far-reaching views from a private balcony. The open-plan living and kitchen area benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows and a brand-new kitchen with integrated appliances — ready to move into or let. Both bedrooms are good doubles and the modern bathroom completes a practical, low-maintenance layout.
City Island sits between the River Aire and Leeds–Liverpool Canal and includes concierge, attractive communal grounds and water features — features that support rental appeal and day-to-day convenience. The flat has a very long lease (976 years) and no flooding risk, making ownership straightforward.
There are material running costs to note: an annual service charge of around £2,070 and a £200 ground rent. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, which may increase energy bills compared with gas-heated flats. The immediate area is a cosmopolitan, multicultural neighbourhood with strong student presence and high local crime levels; this boosts rental demand but may not suit buyers seeking a quieter residential pocket.
Overall, this is a freshly refurbished, low-maintenance apartment suited to buyers seeking a well-presented city-base or a rental investment that benefits from location and communal amenities. Prospective buyers should budget for the service charge, factor electric heating costs into running expenses, and consider the neighbourhood profile when assessing suitability.
