Set within the heart of MediaCityUK, this two-bedroom apartment at Northill Apartments offers immediate rental potential in a highly connected, employment-led area. The development is fully completed and designed for modern living, with a high-quality finish, open-plan living, large windows and an on-site residents' gym. Off-street parking and a landscaped communal garden add practical benefits for tenants or owner-occupiers.
This flat is a strong pick for investors targeting students and young professionals drawn to nearby BBC and ITV hubs. At 858 sq ft, the layout balances living space and bedrooms, and the property can generate income straightaway. The low local crime rate, standard ceiling heights and contemporary kitchen fittings help maintain appeal to long-term tenants.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold new-build in a cosmopolitan, student-dominated neighbourhood — expect higher tenant turnover and a rental market skewed to short-term lets. The apartment has just one bathroom for two bedrooms, which can affect family or sharer appeal. Broadband in the building is reported very slow; this may be a material drawback for remote workers or streaming-heavy tenants.
Overall, Northill Apartments delivers a turnkey, well-specified home in a prime MediaCity location with clear rental upside. Factor in leasehold ownership, local tenant mix, and the broadband limitation when assessing returns or personal use.
