This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment in central Ormskirk offers a practical, low-maintenance home ideal for first-time buyers or downsizers. The living room benefits from a walk-in bay window and plenty of natural light; gas central heating and double glazing are fitted throughout. Off-street parking and well-kept communal gardens make everyday life easy, while the apartment’s compact layout (approx. 459 sq ft) is straightforward to run.
Bought via online auction, the sale can proceed quickly with immediate exchange of contracts available once a bid is accepted. The property is chain-free and has no age restrictions, which adds flexibility. Buyers should review the legal pack and be aware of the auction terms — a 5% non-refundable deposit on exchange and a reservation fee (up to 6% inc VAT, minimum £7,200) are payable on purchase.
Practical considerations are clear: the home is leasehold with an annual service charge around £960 and a Council Tax Band B. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s with cavity walls (assumed no added insulation) — buyers wanting higher energy efficiency may consider upgrades. The area is well-served for amenities and transport, though local crime statistics are higher than average and should be noted.
Overall, this is a tidy, move-in-ready apartment in a convenient town centre spot. It will suit buyers who value location and convenience and who are comfortable with the auction process and associated fees. Request the legal pack and budget for purchase and possible retrofit work before bidding.
