Chain-free investment close to Elizabeth Line station and town amenities.
Third-floor one-bedroom with Juliette balcony
A smart one-bedroom third-floor flat in Omega Court, offered chain-free and ready for rental or resale. The apartment includes a Juliette balcony, fitted kitchen and a secure residents’ parking space — features that appeal to busy commuters and investors seeking low-maintenance income. At 487 sq ft the accommodation is a practical, average-sized home with straightforward layout and neutral decor.
The building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and has double glazing installed before 2002. The property is leasehold with about 103 years remaining, a service charge of approximately £1,500 per year and a modest ground rent of £150 per year — important running costs for any buyer or landlord to budget. Heating is via electric storage heaters, so factor in higher running costs compared with gas central heating.
Transport is a clear strength: Romford town centre is within easy reach and Romford Elizabeth Line station is about 0.7 miles away, making this attractive for commuters. Local schools include several rated Good or Outstanding, and nearby amenities and bus routes add to the flat’s rental appeal. Note the local crime rate is above average for the area; this is relevant for investor lettings and insurance considerations.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-upkeep flat suited to investors or first-time buyers who want quick access to transport links and a property that requires minimal immediate work. Be clear about ongoing costs (service charge, ground rent, electric heating) and location-specific factors when assessing yield or long-term living costs.
