The New Waterside Apartments

The apartments are now up for sale starting at less than £80,000. What they fail to point out is that there's only one at that price and it's a one bedroom flat on the 4th floor. You also need to pay an extra £5,000 for a space to park your car (or £7,500 for indoor parking). There are 5 other flats under £100,000 the rest range from £103,000 to over £140,000 plus the car parking.

I'd have liked the website (here) to have shown more images of the interiors.


Do you think it's a reasonable price to pay for a one bedroom flat next to Scaitcliffe House?

Incidentally, the Observer doesn't seem to be all that clear where Scaitcliffe House is judging by the photo on page 5.

Re: The New Waterside Apartments

Is there any mention of the annual (average) service charge for these flats? I know here in Wapping the charge varies between 5 and 15 grand a year, which includes concierge, security, cleaning and sinking fund. I would guess that it would be somewhat less in Accy, but still not inconsiderable.

Ooops, hadn't seen that. With having been away for weeks I'm out of touch with what's been posted.

Re: The New Waterside Apartments

I wonder how these are selling. I noticed some more building work going on around there the other day - looks like they are only two storey though, are these more homes or for businesses? Anyone know?

It's not the location it's the state of the market. Ask any Estate agent, the market is flat ...

Many businesses hide the facts very well in the small print willow, have been for years, terms and conditions etc have been fairly important over the years, as have 'hidden extras', but never more so than now. I wont name names, but many very big companies use t's and c's to thier fullest advantage, with the usual culprit paying up!

For what are described as exclusive quality, the kitchens and bathrooms look pretty basic to me.

Re: The New Waterside Apartments

give them 4 maybe 5 years an they will start to sink becouse they are built on a mill pound. that is one of the resons why none wants to buy them + the price is too high and the water side veiw is of a dead poluted fishing loged.

Re: The New Waterside Apartments

I was talking to Jack's nan who has been up here in Accrington most of her life (although she is from Kent, as i am) and she said when she first came up here the spot that these 'apartments' are built was a mine.......no-one else has mentioned this.Is she mistaken or is it just forgotten/not being talked about?
Obviously the foundations would have been checked etc but still.......i wouldn't move in even if they gave me one for nowt, knowing this.
