This chain-free eighth-floor flat in E14 offers 791 sq ft of practical living space with two bedrooms, a living room with balcony, separate kitchen and bathroom. The apartment is on a mid-20th-century high-rise with a concrete, brutalist facade — typical of its era — and benefits from double glazing and fast broadband and mobile signal.
The location provides extensive local amenities and transport links: shops, cafes, gyms, Tesco Express, bus and rail connections are all within easy reach. Several local primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding sit nearby, which may appeal to buyers prioritising access to education and everyday services.
The property is sold as seen and priced accordingly. It uses electric storage heaters rather than gas, and the building shows typical wear for its age and will require maintenance; buyers should expect cosmetic to mid-level refurbishment. Leasehold details are straightforward — 89 years remaining — but running costs include an estimated 2025–26 service charge of £2,194.37 and a low ground rent of £10.
Be aware of additional purchase costs: the buyer will be liable for a £500 administration fee and a buyer's premium of £3,500 (or 2.5% of the purchase price if higher) plus VAT, and purchasers are required to pay estate agent fees. The local area scores high for crime and is classed as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale and rental demand. This flat suits buyers seeking an affordable entry into Tower Hamlets who are comfortable with refurbishment and clear, up-front purchase costs.
