Contemporary two-bed apartment with parking and long lease, ideal for first buyers or investors.
Fourth-floor two-bedroom apartment with balcony
Set on the fourth floor of a contemporary Northern Quarter development, this two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, city-centre lifestyle with a private balcony and secure underground parking. The open-plan living space, integrated kitchen and two double bedrooms (one with en suite) suit first-time buyers wanting low-maintenance urban living or investors seeking a straightforward buy-to-let.
Practical strengths include an EWS1 form with a B1 rating, long lease (circa 238 years remaining), double glazing and vacant possession with no onward chain. The property is sold as seen; the asking price reflects a straightforward purchase rather than a turn-key refurbishment. Estimated rental income around £1,300 pcm makes it viable for investors in this commuter-friendly location.
Buyers should note a comparatively high annual service charge (£3,529.70) and a small annual ground rent (£250). Heating is electric (room heaters) rather than gas central heating — factor this into running costs. The apartment’s size (about 667 sqft) and contemporary finish suit those prioritising location and low upkeep over large family accommodation.
Located in a lively, well-connected area close to Victoria and Piccadilly stations, the Northern Quarter offers dining, culture and transport links on the doorstep. For first-time buyers and landlords who value centrality, low maintenance and long lease security, this apartment is a pragmatic, well-located option.
