A practical two-bedroom first-floor flat offering straightforward rental potential in Widnes. The layout includes a large lounge-diner, modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom, all presented in neutral decor with double glazing and laminate flooring. At about 610 sq ft, the home is compact but useable and can be let quickly in this area.
The block benefits from off-street parking and low flood risk. Construction from 2007 onwards and recent double glazing help reduce immediate capital spend. Mobile signal is excellent and local broadband is average; nearby shops, bus links and schools add everyday convenience for tenants.
Important practical details: this is a leasehold property with an average service charge of £1,433 and ground rent of £130. Heating is by electric room heaters, which can raise running costs compared with gas. The location is in a very deprived area with higher local crime rates, which can affect tenant demand and rental value.
Suitability: the flat is well suited to buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry purchase at £80,000 or first-time buyers wanting a ready-to-move-in home. Factor in ongoing service charges, electric heating costs and the neighbourhood profile when assessing rental income or resale prospects.
