247 years remaining on the lease

Electric room heaters — higher running costs likely
Compact 433 sq ft — best for single/couple
Area records very high crime and high deprivation
This compact 433 sq ft apartment offers contemporary, move-in ready accommodation in a 2022 conversion, sold chain free. The top-floor position provides privacy and natural light, while off-street residential parking and a secure bike shed add everyday convenience for commuters and professionals.
Practical costs and tenure are transparent: a long lease (about 247 years remaining), ground rent £114 pa and an average service charge of £1,560 pa. Heating is electric via room heaters which can mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating; prospective buyers should factor this into budgets.
Location brings clear strengths and compromises. The flat is well connected to Leeds city centre and major motorways, with good mobile signal and local amenities nearby. However, the immediate area records very high crime levels and significant deprivation; buyers should consider security and resale prospects in that context.
This property will suit a first-time buyer, single professional or investor seeking a low-management, modern apartment close to the city. It represents straightforward urban living with some ongoing costs and location-related risks to weigh against the long lease and ready-to-move-in condition.
