Summary - FLAT 5, COGAN COURT, COGAN PILL ROAD CF64 2NF
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Cash buyers or developers suited to a full refurbishment and lease extension project.
- Ground-floor two-bedroom flat with covered balcony and woodland views
- Requires complete renovation; visible mould and worn finishes throughout
- Lease only 56 years left; lenders likely to refuse mortgage applications
- Building undergoing major remedial works; maintenance responsibilities unclear
- Single garage included plus communal resident parking and storage shed
- Electric storage heaters and untested warm-air equipment; heating upgrade needed
- Fast broadband available; mobile signal average
- Local area: high crime and very deprived, may affect demand
A ground-floor two-bedroom flat offered as a complete renovation project, set in mature, tree-lined communal grounds with resident parking and a single garage. The generous lounge/diner benefits from full-height windows and a covered balcony overlooking woodland, offering clear scope to create a bright, contemporary living space once upgraded.
Important practical points: the building is currently undergoing remedial works and the lease has only 56 years remaining — mortgage lenders are likely to refuse standard lending and the lease will need extending. The flat shows clear signs of neglect: dated finishes, worn/dirty carpets, mould and untested electric services; a full refurbishment and likely heating upgrade are required.
This property suits a cash buyer, small-scale investor or developer prepared to manage lease extension and remedial works. Fast broadband and on-site parking are practical advantages, and the share-of-freehold can be helpful once the lease is addressed. Be aware the local area scores highly for deprivation and recorded crime levels are elevated, which may affect rental demand and resale appetite.
No hidden positives are omitted: this is a value-led opportunity for someone prepared to invest time and budget to modernise, extend the lease and complete the ongoing building repairs. For anyone needing mortgage finance or a move-in-ready home, this property is not currently suitable.
