Shambles, York

A pair of 1 bedroom flats situated on the first and second floors of this historic listed building overlooking 'The Shambles,' both of which offer spacious one bedroom living accommodation, with no onward chain and vacant Possession.

Foreword - The Shambles in York (officially just ‘Shambles’) is a narrow street of mostly timber buildings that date back as far as the 13th Century. The street was originally home to butchers, with each shop specialising in a different meat. While the street is still home to a butcher, the rest of the street is now filled with a bright mix of mostly independent retailers.

A trip to the Shambles is a must for any visit to York. York continually tops polls as a beautiful city, to live work and visit. When it does, it is the Shambles that is featured on most accompanying photographs.

Agents Note - Both the flats are serviced from the same communal entrance and will be held on a long leasehold of 999 years with a peppercorn ground rent.

Leasehold Covennats - The long leaseholder will be responsible for the repair/replacement of windows and doors as well as the maintenance interior of the flats and staircase with lobby areas. All these areas will be part of their demise of the 999 year lease. The repair and maintenance of the shared structural elements such as roof, external walls and shared drainage etc. would be the freeholders (City of York Council) responsibility with the long leaseholder responsible for a fair proportion of these costs which would be recovered in a ‘charged as spent’ service charge.

Insurance - The Property will be insured by the Freeholder with a share of the premium recovered annually from the long leaseholder.
