This top-floor two-bedroom apartment on City Island offers a compact, contemporary living space with a private balcony and secure off-street parking. The development includes an on-site concierge and attractive communal piazza, and the flat's open-plan living area and modern finishes suit rental or city-centre living.
Practical details support long-term ownership: a very long lease (around 978 years remaining), double glazing and a clear service-charge and ground-rent profile (service charge approx. £2,351.66 pa; ground rent £200 pa). The property is close to Leeds city centre, public transport links and student hubs, which helps occupier demand and short commute times.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area records high crime and very high flood risk, and the neighbourhood is described as a multicultural student area with high deprivation indices. Heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas central heating), and the service charge is moderate for apartment management. These factors affect insurance, energy costs and tenant mix.
For investors seeking a city-centre rental or buyers wanting easy access to central Leeds, this apartment combines long lease security and modern presentation with clear trade-offs around location risks and running costs. Viewings are recommended to assess layout, finish and how the risks fit your plans.
