Summary - Flat 20 The Anchorage, 23, Kingsway, SOUTHPORT PR8 1ND
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact town-centre buy-to-let with long lease and excellent transport links.
Second-floor one-bedroom, open-plan living/kitchen, balcony and bathroom
Located just off Lord Street, this compact second-floor apartment offers a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity in central Southport. The open-plan living/kitchen, one double bedroom and bathroom occupy c.388 sq ft, with double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC C rating — practical features for an investor seeking ready-to-rent accommodation. A small balcony provides city-facing outlook and natural light.
The property will be sold at auction (November dates listed) and is offered leasehold with approximately 110 years remaining. Buyers should budget for the buyer’s premium, administration fee (2.5% inc. VAT, minimum £2,500) and any legal pack disbursements; check the legal pack for ground rent and service charge details before bidding. Auction purchases are legally binding and require immediate deposit payment on successful bid.
Location is a clear value driver: town-centre position a short walk from shops, cafes and transport links to Birkdale, Liverpool and Preston. Council Tax is Band A (very cheap), and nearby schools have Good Ofsted ratings — useful if re-letting to professionals or sharers. However, the surrounding area records high crime and is classified as very deprived, which may affect tenant demand and rental values.
Overall this is a small, low-maintenance flat suited to investors wanting an entry-level rental asset or a buyer comfortable with auction risk. It’s best for purchasers who have reviewed the legal pack, factored in auction fees, and accept the neighbourhood profile and compact footprint.
