Only 61 years remaining on the lease — lender risk

This three-bedroom, first-floor flat in Old Trafford offers compact, practical living with strong transport links and immediate move-in potential. The apartment includes two balconies, a small contemporary kitchen, a living room with natural light, and a separate storage room suitable as a study — features that suit a first-time buyer or investor wanting rental yield.
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual: the flat has just 61 years remaining on the lease, which may prevent some mortgage lenders from approving loans. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the glazing is older double glazing installed before 2002, so running and upgrade costs should be factored into any offer. Service charges average £1,464 per year.
Locational strengths include a quiet residential road, well-maintained communal grounds, off-street parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus a two-minute walk to Trafford Bar Metrolink for direct links to the city centre, MediaCity and the airport. Nearby primary schools include an Outstanding-rated option, which will appeal to buyers with young children.
Overall this is a compact, well-located flat offered chain-free. It will suit a buyer who prioritises transport, convenience and rental potential and who is either able to purchase with a mortgage lender willing to accept the short lease or able to pay cash and budget for future lease-extension costs and heating/upgrades.
