A practical one-bedroom leasehold apartment set in a modern three-storey block, positioned in central Leigh with communal gardens and private resident parking. The open-plan lounge/kitchen, featuring a bay window, delivers straightforward rental appeal and easy maintenance for a buy-to-let owner.
The property currently shows an estimated rental value of £6,600 pa and has recently been let at the same level, making it simple to re-let to local tenants. Service charge and ground rent are disclosed, and the long lease (circa 232 years remaining) removes near-term lease concerns for investors.
Notable running points: heating is by convector heaters, which are functional but less efficient than modern central heating; the service charge is relatively high for the apartment size; and the wider area is described as very deprived, which can affect capital growth prospects. Council tax band A and very low local crime are practical advantages.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-management investment in a vibrant town location. It suits purchasers seeking immediate rental income and long-lease security, while buyers seeking strong capital upside or a turnkey premium finish should factor in local area dynamics and potential refurbishment or heating upgrades.
