Summary - 4 Canfield Road RM13 7UU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Chain-free top-floor 2-bed apartment with bright living room and manageable running costs..
Top-floor two-bedroom apartment, 646 sq ft, bright 14' living room
This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment on Canfield Road offers a straightforward, chain-free entry into homeownership or buy-to-let in Rainham. The 14' living room and large windows provide good natural light and a comfortable layout across 646 sq ft. A 10' fitted kitchen and family bathroom complete the practical accommodation.
Important practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with approximately 89 years remaining, a service charge around £1,500/year and a nominal ground rent of £10/year. The building dates from the 1950–66 period with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown age, so further insulation or updating may be needed to improve energy performance.
Set in a dense urban neighbourhood with good local amenities and strong mobile signal, the flat sits close to several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Flood risk is low and council tax band is inexpensive, which helps running costs. The area shows signs of deprivation and average crime levels; buyers should weigh local market prospects and potential rental demand against these factors.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking affordable entry in RM13 who is comfortable with a medium-term lease, some retrofit work, and paying a modest service charge. The flat is ready to occupy but offers scope for cosmetic improvement to increase value or rental income.
