Modern fitted kitchen and open-plan reception

Service charge high (£8,548 inc. heating and reserve)
Westminster Council Tax Band G — expensive
971 years remaining on lease — long leasehold security
Local area records very high crime; consider insurance costs
Situated on Mortimer Street in the heart of Fitzrovia, this first-floor one-bedroom apartment offers bright, comfortable living across circa 575 sq ft. Large windows and contemporary finishes create an airy reception with an open-plan kitchen, ideal for central London living or city rental demand.
The building is modern and well maintained, with a lift, recently renovated externals and communal parts. The service charge covers heating and a reserve fund, simplifying running costs, and the flat benefits from an exceptionally long lease (around 971 years).
Notable negatives are the high annual service charge and council tax band, plus a ground rent payable. The local area records very high crime levels and the neighbourhood is described as deprived in parts — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and insurers. The property is currently tenanted until September and is offered with vacant possession thereafter.
This apartment will suit investors seeking a central West End let or a buyer prioritising location and low immediate maintenance. It offers straightforward living, strong transport links and proximity to theatres, restaurants and universities, with potential to reposition the flat after the tenant vacates.
