New 999-year lease on completion, share of freehold

This first-floor one-bedroom flat sits within a Victorian mid-terrace and offers a manageable, well-presented home for a first-time buyer or couple. The accommodation has been newly renovated, includes a refitted bathroom, and comes with a newly issued 999-year lease and a share of the freehold — rare security at this price point.
The living room benefits from a front bay window that brings good natural light, while the bedroom has built-in wardrobes for easy storage. The kitchen is practical and refitted but contains some dated appliances and tile flooring, so there is scope to personalise and modernise to your taste.
Practical running costs are a strong point: mains gas central heating, double glazing and a very cheap council tax band. Note the property is in a deprived area with above-average local crime levels and solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation — these are important factors to budget for when considering comfort improvements or energy upgrades.
Overall this flat represents an affordable route into the area with secure tenure and low maintenance costs. It will suit someone seeking a compact, central base close to transport, schools and the harbour, and who is comfortable investing modestly in cosmetic updates.
