This first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Hanley offers an affordable entry to Stoke-on-Trent property, with an allocated off-street parking space and a long lease (999 years). Located close to town-centre employment hubs, the layout includes a hallway, combined lounge/kitchen diner, one bedroom and a bathroom. The property is vacant and marketed for sale by online auction, creating a clear timeline for purchase.
The flat has practical positives — allocated parking, double glazing and connection to a community heating scheme — but it also needs works: the bathroom shows wear, signs of mould and some floor damage, and the EPC is an F. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs and ongoing service/administration charges into any offer. Broadband is average, mobile signal is excellent, and council tax is very low.
This lot suits a cash-ready investor or a buyer looking for an affordable starter home with uplift potential after improvement. Auction sale terms are binding: a deposit and buyer’s fees (including an administration fee and buyer’s premium) are payable on exchange. Read the legal pack, arrange viewings by appointment, and allow time for pre-auction due diligence.
Nearby amenities include shops, a nature reserve, several schools (including an outstanding primary), and easy access to Hanley town centre employment. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, which can affect rental yields, tenant demand and future resale prospects — weigh these local factors when assessing the price and refurbishment budget.
