Open-plan living/kitchen with wood-effect flooring and good natural light

Leasehold: 103 years remaining, service charge £900pa, ground rent £200pa

Area classified as deprived; local crime levels reported as very high
Gas central heating, double glazing; EPC around low C / high D range
Suitable for first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking low maintenance
Set on Fareham High Street, this compact first-floor apartment offers a low-maintenance starter home or buy-to-let opportunity. The open-plan living/kitchen benefits from wood-effect flooring and good natural light from multiple windows. The integrated kitchen has space for appliances and basic fitted units, while the bathroom includes a bath with shower over.
Practical running costs are clear: gas central heating, double glazing, council tax Band B and broadband potential around 80Mbps. The flat is chain-free with 103 years remaining on the lease, a modest service charge (£900pa) and ground rent (£200pa).
Be realistic about the trade-offs: the property is small (circa 500 sq ft) with no private garden and only communal/on-street parking potential. The neighbourhood is classified as deprived and local crime levels are very high—important for buyers and investors to consider. The building dates from the late 1990s and the EPC sits around a low C / high D band, so modest energy improvements are possible.
Overall, this is a town-centre flat that suits a first-time buyer wanting convenience or an investor seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance rental in Fareham. It delivers immediate access to shops, transport and local schools, but buyers should factor in the area profile and leasehold charges.
