The rooms are bright with good natural light, and the recently refitted shower room and fitted kitchen give immediate move-in comfort. Gas central heating and double glazing (pre-2002) help keep running costs down, and the EPC is rated C.
The property is leasehold with 101 years remaining, a £10 annual ground rent and an annual maintenance charge of about £208 (includes buildings insurance). The flat benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, easy access to eateries, cafes and transport links, and is popular with students and professionals seeking city access.
Note the flat sits in an area with higher-than-average crime rates and the rear outdoor decking area is used by the owners but is not confirmed on the title deeds — your solicitor should verify ownership. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (as built), so there may be potential to improve thermal performance and energy efficiency.
Overall, this compact Edwardian upper flat provides good-sized rooms, low holding costs and strong local rental or owner-occupier appeal, particularly for first-time buyers or investors wanting a well-located property with some straightforward improvement potential.
