A compact one-bedroom flat in the heart of Worcester, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking central living or a buy-to-let starter. The apartment offers private street-level access, off-street parking and an open-plan living/kitchen arrangement that maximises its small footprint. Being close to the cathedral, shops and transport makes daily life convenient.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property sold via online auction with immediate exchange options available; legal pack and AML checks apply. The building is older (pre-1900) with assumed timber-frame walls and no insulation; electric storage heaters are fitted and main fuel is electricity. Service charges average £2,208 per year and council tax is very low.
Material concerns include a very high local crime rate and a medium flood risk for the area; the flat is small (approx. 333 sq ft) and will suit someone comfortable with compact city living. There may be renovation and upgrade potential — particularly insulation, heating and general cosmetic works — so factor in likely remedial costs before bidding.
