Gateway South, Leeds

Zenko Properties would like to present this large two bedroom apartment with a refurbished open plan living area, kitchen to the rear of the room and further space for dinning area. The kitchen is newly upgraded compared to others in the gateway development and has a built in dishwasher. With comments from the sellers:

"We find the flat to be very spacious and a great space to have family or friends over for drinks, dinner and/or games nights. It's been super handy having two parking spaces for this reason too, as people have been able to visit without having to pay for public carparks further away. The balcony is south facing so is the perfect sun trap for us in the summer to relax on our fold away sunlounges! It's peaceful and quiet given how close it is to the city centre too, so ideal for days when we just want to relax watching a film or listen to music on the sofa.

The location is perfect for us. A short walk into the middle of the city centre, the bus/train station, Leeds Dock (which is a perfect spot to sit in the sun) and plenty of lovely bars/restaurants too! It's also close by to the canal so great for a nice walk/bike ride out of the city centre.

It's been amazing to see how much this area has changed since we moved in 6 years ago and with so many new developments coming up, I would love to see it what it looks like in another 6.

The building itself is also so convenient. It has a friendly 24/7 concierge team (so we have never missed a parcel delivery!), a free gym on site and a great building manager/cleaning team on site regularly too. The building is maintained very well.

We have absolutely loved living here and will miss it so much. We just hope the new owners love living here as much as we have"

The kitchen and newly added breakfast bar, with upgraded flooring and plenty of storage space makes this kitchen unique. The bedrooms are spacious, large doubles with plenty of room. The bathroom and en-suite has been finished to a good standard, mainly tiled and has a shower over the bath, build in mirror and cabinet area.

The Gateway is a short walk from the trendy area of The Calls, Leeds Dock, Corn Exchange and Kirkgate Markets, which provide an abundance of shopping opportunities from Food to antiques! Situated in the South West Corner of Leeds City Centre, The Gateway is a popular development due to its brilliant on-site facilities. This development boasts its own gym (small one off fee then free for residents) and a convenience store.

The development has a lift or stairs option. Secure fob entrance system. Underground/secure tandem parking space is included in the price.

LEASE INFORMATION

Ground rent: £62.50 per quarter
Service Charge: £733.44 per quarter
Lease: 150 years from 31st March 2006

Cladding :

Currently the building is part funded by the Government (white render) and we're waiting to see if the other cladding system will be funded too (the gray cladding). As the owners are owner occupiers, they have a landlord certificate proving this, the freehold should only be able to charge them (or anyone who buys the flat) a maximum of £10,000 to fix, if this even is required.

Some lenders now aren't requiring an EWS1 form.

This property has been discounted from £250,000 to reflect the potential £10,000 maximum qualifying leaseholder cost described above.
