Summary - 129 FLAT 5 RECTORY LANE LONDON SW17 9PX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable entry into SW17 with parking and communal garden close to tube.
Chain-free one-bedroom flat, first-floor
A compact, chain-free one-bedroom flat in SW17 that suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The first-floor apartment comes with allocated off-street parking and access to a communal garden, useful extras in this busy part of London. The property sits within a short walk of Tooting Broadway (Northern Line) and local shops, giving straightforward transport and everyday convenience.
Internally the flat offers a generous double bedroom, a fitted contemporary kitchen and a living area within a small 334 sq ft footprint. Heating is by electric room heaters and the glazing is double; there is no gas central heating. The 86-year lease, low ground rent (£45) and chain-free status make the purchase process relatively simple, but buyers should budget for standard leasehold costs and any additional lease pack fees.
Notable drawbacks are the limited internal space, an electrically heated system (no communal gas), and the property’s location within an area described as more deprived with above-average crime levels. These factors affect long-term living comfort and rental appeal but are offset by low purchase price, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to local schools and green amenities such as Tooting Bec Common.
