A compact one-bedroom first-floor flat in Brentwood Court offered with a tenant in situ and immediate rental income. The current tenant pays £9,900 per annum, presenting a straightforward income stream for an investor or portfolio buyer. The property benefits from an extended lease of around 150 years, off-street parking and double glazing.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom across approximately 399 sq ft. Heating is gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and finishes are basic and somewhat dated, so there is clear scope to improve presentation and increase future rental or resale value through refurbishment.
Buyers should note some important negatives: the area records high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which will influence tenant profiles and long-term capital growth. Service charges average around £2,000 per year and the property is leasehold — additional leasehold-related fees (management/pack fees) may apply. The flat is small, so it suits single occupants or couples rather than families.
For an investor seeking an income-producing, low-maintenance addition to a portfolio, this flat offers an extended lease and established rent. For buyers wanting a longer-term owner-occupied home, budget for modernisation and consider area-related constraints before bidding.
