Nearest match in each category, from the island place register (OpenStreetMap plus local sources) — a broad list, not a guarantee that every business is included. Distances are straight-line ("as the crow flies"), multiplied by 1.3 to approximate real road-network distance — this is an estimate, not turn-by-turn routing, and actual walking/driving routes may differ. Times assume constant average speeds appropriate to the Isle of Man's roads and 25/35mph limits: walking 4.5 km/h, cycling 14 km/h, driving 30 km/h — not open-road speeds, and they don't account for traffic, parking or terrain.
Masts nearby
- Communication mastUnnamed on the map88 yards away
- Mobile phone mastUnnamed on the map0.55 miles away
- Mobile phone mastUnnamed on the map0.61 miles away
- Communication towerUnnamed on the map1.6 miles away
Read this before drawing a conclusion. These are masts mapped by OpenStreetMap contributors — 38 communication structures for the whole island, 29 of them tagged as carrying a mobile network. The operators run considerably more sites than that, so a mast not shown here is not evidence there isn't one. There is no official Isle of Man mast register to check against: Ofcom's Sitefinder never covered the island and the Communications Commission publishes no list. Nothing in this data says which generation a mast carries, so none of it can tell you whether a site is 5G.
What the numbers on this listing say
- Leasehold. Ask for the unexpired term, the ground rent and the service charge before you offer — a short lease is a valuation problem and a lending problem, and neither shows up in the asking price. Tenure is as declared by the agent; have your advocate confirm it against the register.
Assembled from this site's own record of the listing and the Isle of Man Government sold-price register. It deliberately makes no recommendation and no valuation — it reports what is measurable and leaves the judgement to you.
What this purchase costs beyond the asking price
Duty is estimated on the higher of purchase price and market value. Chargeable amounts in each band are rounded up to £1,000 units, with a £250 minimum. Registration and other professional fees are additional. Three categories exist: owner-occupier (0% on the first £230,000 (subject to the £250 minimum), 1% to £500,000, 2% above) — £250 here; resident but not owner-occupier, a second home or a let (2%, 2.5% above £3m) — £4,500; and non-resident (4%, 4.5% above £3m) — £9,000. Which one you fall into is a question about you, not about the property, and the Registry decides it. Scale set by the Land, Deeds and Probate Registries (Fees and Duties) Order 2023, in force 1 May 2023 — check the Central Registry's own calculator or ask your advocate for the figure that actually applies. This site is not a tax adviser and takes no fee from anyone named on this page.
What it would cost each month
The interest rate above is a placeholder you should replace with a real quote — this site holds no lender rates, is paid nothing by any lender, and is not advice. Duty uses the same Isle of Man calculation as the purchase-cost figures above: a £250 minimum and chargeable £1,000 units rounded up. Use the purchase price or market value, whichever is higher. This estimate excludes registration, legal and mortgage fees, new-lease rent and special reliefs. Confirm your category and final amount with the Central Registry calculator.
Getting connected
Four providers sell residential broadband on the island: Manx Telecom, Sure, Wi-Manx, BlueWave Communications. Manx Telecom owns and operates the fixed network the others largely resell, so what is physically available at an address is usually a Manx Telecom question whoever ends up billing you.
This site has no per-address availability feed and makes no claim about the speed, technology or price at this property — a "fibre available here" badge that turned out to be wrong on completion day would be worse than no badge at all. Check with a provider against the actual address before you rely on it. No provider pays this site anything, and these are ordinary links, not referrals.
A flat owner owns the inside of the flat — not the roof above it, the ground beside it, or the right to build on either. Adding a bedroom, converting the loft or putting up an outbuilding are not options here whatever they might be worth, so they are not costed. Internal work — reconfiguring, refitting a kitchen or bathroom, replacing windows where the lease and the building allow — is a different question, and one this site has no data to price.
Building work on this property
Same estimate model this site uses on its planning pages (UK cost ranges with the Isle of Man's 18% uplift) — a rough starting point, not a quote. Always get quotes from an Isle of Man builder before budgeting.

Matched by house name/street and parish against the Isle of Man Land Registry's transaction register — not a unique-ID lookup, so a shared house name could span more than one property. The "2026 prices" column carries each price forward at the island-wide repeat-sales index — it is what that sum of money would be at today's market level, not a valuation of this property, and it takes no account of the condition it was in then or any work done since.

Matched by house name/street and parish against Isle of Man planning applications decided between 4 Jan 2011 and 29 Dec 2023 (the government published no 2017 files, so that year is absent) — coverage is partial and not a unique-ID lookup. No bare decision date is available in this data, so the application number (which embeds its year) is shown instead. Where a "Worked on by" name appears, it's a known architect or surveyor cross-referenced by the same application number — worth a call before commissioning a fresh survey.

Estimated cost of live planning permissions
Isle of Man planning permissions lapse 3 years after grant if unbuilt; these applications fall inside that window and were not refused, so they are presumptively still capable of being implemented.

The work type shown is inferred automatically from the wording of the planning application's own description — it isn't stated by the applicant. The base cost range comes from published UK national renovation/build-cost guides for that type of project, with an 18% uplift for the Isle of Man. That uplift is not a guess: AtkinsRealis's July 2026 interim report for the Isle of Man Treasury puts Manx construction costs 18% above the UK average — joint 16th most expensive place to build on the BCIS rankings, comparable with Outer London — driven by imported materials with no local competition and a shortage of skilled trades. Figures exclude VAT at 20% and professional fees, typically 12–18%. These figures are indicative only, not a quote: actual cost depends on specification, finish, ground conditions and the contractor. For anything serious, get a quote from a local quantity surveyor or builder.
