Set on Stockwell Road, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment offers clear positives for first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The reception room is bright and roomy, with large windows and a balcony delivering panoramic views across London. A modern fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms make the layout straightforward and practical.
Residents benefit from gated parking and concierge services, plus excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—convenience for commuters and professionals. The long lease (about 106 years remaining) provides tenure security, and nearby transport connections (Stockwell, Brixton and Clapham stations) expand commuting options.
Buyers should note material ownership costs: a service charge of £4,296 per year is above average, and ground rent of £10 applies. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and uses system-built walls that likely lack modern insulation; double glazing is installed but the date is unknown. The local area records very high crime levels and is relatively deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand for some buyers.
Overall, this apartment suits purchasers seeking a well-located, move-in-ready home or an investment with reliable tenant appeal, provided they accept the service charge, local area challenges and potential retrofit needs for insulation or future upgrades.
