Summary - 137 BUTCHERS ROAD, CANNING TOWN, LONDON E16 1NE
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Strong rental yield near Canning Town station; ideal for buy-to-let purchasers.
Two double bedrooms with private balcony and bright living space
Set on the second floor of a secure block on Butchers Road, this 724 sqft apartment offers two double bedrooms, a private balcony and gated off-street parking. The building includes a porter and benefits from excellent transport links at nearby Canning Town station, making it straightforward to let or commute into central London.
The interior feels bright and spacious with modern kitchen fittings, marble-effect flooring in the living area and double glazing (installation date unknown). Current heating is electric via room heaters; the property is powered by individual electricity supply rather than a communal system. Constructed in the 1950–66 period and described as system-built, the walls are assumed to lack insulation, so some thermal and energy-efficiency upgrades are likely needed.
This unit is offered leasehold and is currently showing a strong gross yield (around 8.3%), which will appeal to investors targeting established renting families in an area of high rental demand. Nearby schools include two Ofsted Outstanding primaries, and local amenities and bus/rail links are within easy reach.
Buyers should note the neighbourhood’s wider challenges: area deprivation is high and local crime rates are above average. The flat would benefit from energy-efficiency improvements and potential cosmetic updating in places, which presents both a cost and an opportunity to increase long-term value.
