Local area: very high crime and very deprived — affects resale
This two-bedroom, two-bath upper-floor apartment sits in a gated riverside development backing onto the River Roding, a short walk from Barking station and town centre. The living room opens onto a private balcony; the apartment includes a fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom and an ensuite to the master bedroom. An allocated off-street parking space adds everyday convenience.
The flat offers strong commuter appeal with direct City links in about 15 minutes and modern, secure development living. It is chain free and has 103 years remaining on the lease, making it accessible for first-time buyers prepared for a leasehold purchase or short-term investors seeking rental potential in a transport-linked location.
Buyers should note the financial and local considerations: an annual service charge of approximately £2,770 and a ground rent of £175, with electric storage heating and double glazing fitted before 2002. The area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which will affect long-term resale and lettings. The property is being offered for cash buyers only, so mortgage-dependent purchasers should check suitability first.
With 638 sq ft of accommodation laid out traditionally across three main rooms, the apartment is ready to occupy but may benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value. For buyers seeking a commuter-friendly two-bed with parking and riverside aspect, this provides a practical, well-located option with clear costs and local challenges to weigh up.
