Summary - 9B TUDOR PARADE ROMFORD RM6 6PS
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Cash-ready buy-to-let with refurbishment potential near Chadwell Heath station.
Vacant second-floor flat above shops, offered at public auction
A purpose-built second-floor flat above shops on Romford High Road, offered vacant and for sale by public auction. The property sits in a Tudor Revival mixed-use parade, around three-quarters of a mile from Chadwell Heath mainline station (Crossrail proposals), giving strong transport links for tenants. The flat includes two bedrooms, a separate kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet across about 614 sq ft.
This is a clear value proposition for a cash buyer or investor prepared to refurbish. The apartment's period character and mixed-use high street location suit rental use or a short-term hold while lease options are investigated. The accommodation is basic and dated, so straightforward cosmetic and energy-efficiency upgrades could add measurable rental value.
There are important constraints to note plainly. The lease started 29/09/1975 and has only around 48–49 years remaining; many mortgage lenders refuse to lend on properties with so few years left. The building has solid brick walls with assumed no insulation, an EPC rating of D, and the area shows above-average crime and socioeconomic deprivation — factors that affect mortgageability and long-term capital growth.
In short: good transport links and immediate rental potential for a cash buyer or experienced investor, but the short lease, location issues, and need for refurbishment are material drawbacks that should be factored into price and any post-purchase plans.
