Fantastic opportunity for first time buyers or investors to purchase this purpose built first floor apartment in a convenient yet peaceful location close to motorway links and many local amenities. The property also benefits from being sold with no chain delay.
Property Oracle says ..
This one-bedroom apartment in Blackburn, located on Merchants Quay, presents a potential opportunity for first-time buyers or investors. Its central location offers easy access to Blackburn town centre, various amenities, and relatively good transport links with train stations within reasonable distance. Several nearby primary schools have received ‘Good’ Ofsted ratings, making it attractive to families.
The apartment itself appears reasonably well-maintained in the provided photos, although an update to the kitchen and bathroom could improve its appeal. The property’s interior decoration reflects a dated style that prospective buyers might wish to modernise. The lack of a garden is typical for an apartment building but limits outdoor space.
The asking price of £68,000 seems competitive when compared to similar apartments in the area, though a comprehensive comparison is hindered by limited square footage information for neighbouring properties. Prospective buyers should carefully consider the property’s condition and potential refurbishment costs before making a decision. A thorough viewing is recommended to assess its true value and suitability.
Overall, this property offers a potentially good entry point to the Blackburn property market, particularly for those seeking convenience and affordability. However, the need for some modernisation and the lack of outdoor space should be carefully considered.
Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
