This well-presented two-bedroom third-floor apartment in Sports City offers straightforward city living with strong rental and first-time buyer appeal. The open-plan living area and twin aspects create bright, airy rooms, and a south-facing private balcony provides outdoor space and unobstructed views. The property is sold with vacant possession and an EWS1 form is available, making it suitable for mortgage buyers.
Practical features include an ensuite to the master bedroom, allocated off-street parking and an integrated kitchen. The long lease (226 years remaining) and no flood risk are clear ownership positives. The building dates from the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and cavity wall insulation (assumed), while the EPC rating is C.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with an average annual service charge of approximately 2,600. Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators, and council tax band is not provided. The immediate area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital-growth assumptions even though transport links (Metrolink) and local amenities are strong.
This apartment suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable city-base with low immediate maintenance needs, and investors looking for a lettable unit in a regeneration area. The property offers clear near-term convenience and rental potential, but factor in ongoing service charges and the local socioeconomic profile when assessing value.
