Long lease, low charges — small, efficient flat for first-time buyers or investors.
Approx 304 sq ft — very compact one-bedroom flat
A compact one-bedroom flat offering an efficient open-plan kitchen/reception and a private patio, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low running costs. The interior includes a double bedroom with built-in storage, a modern bathroom, double glazing, and gas central heating. Council Tax band A and a C EPC help keep ongoing costs modest.
Practical strengths include a long lease (125 years remaining), a low service charge of about £600 per year, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The flat sits in a commuter-friendly area with several good primary and secondary schools nearby, and local amenities within walking distance.
Buyers should note the property is small at approximately 304 sq ft, which limits living and storage space. The wider area is classified as deprived and as a hampered neighbourhood, with average crime levels; these factors may affect resale and should be considered. The building dates from the 1950–66 period, so buyers should allow for routine maintenance and checks on older services if planning longer-term occupation.
Overall this is a budget-friendly entry into the SE9 market: compact but well-equipped, with low charges and a long lease. It will suit someone prioritising low running costs and commuter convenience over spacious accommodation, or an investor aiming for a straightforward rental let.
