We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Premier Point | Manchester City Centre BTL Investment | 6.1% Net Yield Apartment 1, 20 Southern Street, Manchester, M3 4NJ Guide Price: £159,000 An excellent opportunity to acquire a well-presented one-bedroom ground floor apartment in central Manchester, just a short walk from Deansgate, offering investors an attractive entry point into one of the UK's most established property markets.
The 44.7 sqm apartment is currently available to let at £1,050 per calendar month, representing a projected 6.1% net yield when operated as a traditional Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST).
With excellent transport links, major employment hubs, restaurants, bars and Manchester's city-centre amenities all within easy reach, Premier Point offers a compelling combination of rental demand, location and affordability.
Investment Highlights: - £159,000 purchase price - £1,050 pcm rental potential - Approximately 6.1% net yield - 44.7 sqm one-bedroom apartment - Ground floor - 125-year lease from 1 January 2006 - 107 years remaining - £250 annual ground rent - £1,340 annual service charge - £585 annual letting fee - White goods included - Council Tax Band C - No parking space - Traditional AST rental strategy - The Apartment Apartment 1 is a spacious 44.7 sqm one-bedroom apartment positioned on the ground floor of Premier Point.
The property features an open-plan kitchen and living area, providing a practical contemporary living space, together with a separate bedroom and main bathroom.
The kitchen is fitted with a fridge/freezer, fan-assisted oven and extraction fan, while a dedicated utility cupboard houses the washing machine and boiler.
The apartment also benefits from a main bathroom with bath/shower, WC, sink, towel rail and vanity mirror, while the bedroom is carpeted and benefits from a large window.
Strong Rental Opportunity: The apartment is currently being marketed at £1,050 pcm, providing investors with a gross annual rental income of £12,600.
The sales documentation indicates a 6.1% net yield on an AST strategy, making this an attractive option for investors looking for reliable long-term rental income from a city-centre property.
The apartment has also previously been operated on a mixture of AST and short-term lets.
However, purchasers should note that the lease does not permit short-term lets, so the investment should be considered on the basis of a traditional AST strategy.
Prime Manchester Location: Premier Point is exceptionally well positioned for access to Manchester city centre and some of the city's key employment, leisure and transport destinations.
- 2-minute walk to the Hilton Hotel on Deansgate - 3-minute walk to Deansgate Train Station - 15-minute walk to Manchester Piccadilly - 8-minute drive to Old Trafford - Easy access to Manchester city-centre amenities The property's proximity to Deansgate and the wider city centre makes it particularly well suited to professionals seeking convenient city living.
A Low-Entry Manchester Investment: At £159,000, this represents an accessible opportunity to acquire a residential investment property in central Manchester without the price tag associated with many newer city-centre developments.
The combination of a relatively affordable purchase price, strong rental demand and established city-centre location makes Premier Point an appealing option for both existing landlords looking to expand their portfolio and investors seeking their first Manchester property.
