Summary - FLAT 64, BIRCHEN HOUSE, 1, CANNING STREET CH41 1ND
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Large one-bedroom apartment by Hamilton Square station — auction sale, vacant possession.
Ground-floor one-bedroom flat, approximately 813 sq ft (75.53 sq m)
This large ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers a rare, affordable entry into central Birkenhead with strong transport links and riverside potential. At approximately 813 sq ft, the apartment provides generous living space for a one-bedroom property, suited to investors or buyers seeking a low-maintenance urban base. The block sits next to Hamilton Square station with quick Merseyrail connections and easy road access to Liverpool via the Queensway Tunnel and M53.
The property is being sold vacant by public online auction on 29/10/2025; bidders should review the legal pack carefully. The auction listing and vendor-supplied photographs indicate a contemporary mid-rise development, but the auctioneer has not internally inspected — internal condition and any required works are not verified. There is a noted inconsistency in tenure information in the particulars; the legal documentation should be checked to confirm whether the unit is freehold or leasehold (circa 244 years reported).
Location is both a strength and a drawback: immediate access to shops, cafes and transport makes the flat convenient, and riverside views toward Liverpool are possible. However, the area records high crime levels and very high deprivation, factors that can affect rental yields, resale prospects and resident experience. The flat may suit investors seeking a central, transport-rich property to refurbish and let, or buyers who prioritise location and space over neighbourhood quiet.
Buyers should budget for potential refurbishment and obtain a full inspection before purchase. All material legal, tenure and condition matters must be confirmed in the auction legal pack prior to bidding.
