Affordable starter or buy-to-let near transport and schools.
Bright living area with modern finishes
A compact one-bedroom flat on Oakhill Road priced for an entry-level purchase or buy-to-let. The living area is bright with modern finishes and the block offers convenient off-street parking — useful for commuters and renters alike. Nearby primary and secondary schools, bus links and local amenities add practical appeal.
Important practical points are straightforward: the apartment totals about 377 sq ft and has only 66 years remaining on the lease. That shorter lease length can limit mortgage availability and may require costly lease extension or cash buyers; interested purchasers should check lender criteria and legal advice before committing.
Service costs are relatively high for size, with an average service charge of £1,920 and a ground rent of £90. Broadband speeds in the area are slow and local crime levels are high; buyers valuing fast connectivity or lower-crime neighbourhoods should weigh these factors.
Despite drawbacks, the property suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting rental demand in a well-connected area. The flat will particularly suit those prepared to manage lease and service-charge implications or to invest in modest updates to maximise rental yield or resale value.
