Summary - 145 BURKET CLOSE SOUTHALL UB2 5NU
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Compact, chain‑free studio with long lease and canal access — ideal starter or investment..
Chain free with circa 158 years remaining on lease
A compact, ground-floor studio in a quiet cul‑de‑sac, this chain‑free flat offers straightforward ownership with a long lease (circa 158 years). At around 340 sq ft the layout suits a single occupant, first-time buyer or buy‑to‑let investor seeking low-entry purchase close to canal walks and local green space.
The main studio is bright thanks to large windows and French‑style doors overlooking communal planting. A separate kitchen and a bathroom complete the accommodation. Residents benefit from communal gardens and off‑street parking — practical extras that are often hard to find at this price point.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the apartment is small and best for single occupancy or as an investment; the kitchen is dated and may need updating; heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas. The development dates from the early 1990s and construction is a timber frame type (assumed), so buyers should note the build type and carry out their own checks.
The location is a selling point for commuters and outdoors lovers: the Grand Union Canal towpath is on the doorstep and Southall Station (Elizabeth Line) is within easy reach for fast central-London journeys. The surrounding area has a mixed socio‑economic profile and is classified as relatively deprived with average local crime levels; these facts should be weighed alongside the flat’s long lease and low entry price.
