This compact first-floor apartment is a low-cost entry point for a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor prepared to renovate. Priced at £50,000 and offered chain-free, it provides a straightforward project: one double bedroom, a lounge, small kitchen, bathroom and a useful box room suitable for storage or a home workspace.
The flat benefits from uPVC double glazing, gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of C (70). Service charge is modest at £420.12 per year and is understood to include gas provision; ground rent is nominal. Location is practical for commuting — Brighouse station and junction 24 of the M62 are a short drive away, while local shops, schools and bus links are within easy reach.
Key defects are clear and important: the property requires full modernisation throughout, room sizes are small (approx. 427 sq ft total), and the building is in a neighbourhood with above-average crime statistics. The apartment is leasehold (approx. 93 years remaining) and sits within a semi-detached, 1960s-style block, so buyers should budget for renovation costs and check lease/legal details.
Overall this is a budget-friendly refurbishment opportunity with genuine commuter convenience. It will suit a buyer looking to add value through improvement work or an investor seeking a let-ready property after upgrading.
