This third-floor, purpose-built flat in the Highbanks redevelopment offers a ready-to-move-in base for a coastal commuter or first-time buyer. The open-plan living area with an integrated kitchenette, modern bathroom and en-suite to the master give a contemporary, low-maintenance feel. Two allocated parking spaces (one undercover) are a clear practical bonus in the town-centre location.
The building was completed in 2016 and the apartment benefits from double glazing, electric underfloor heating and neutral, newly renovated finishes. Leasehold tenure has approximately 115 years remaining and the sale is offered chain free, making it straightforward to progress.
Be realistic about running costs and location: the property has an average-sized internal footprint (around 704 sq ft), no private outdoor space and uses electricity for main heating, which can be more expensive than gas. Annual service charge and ground rent apply (£1,500 and £350 respectively), and local area indicators show high crime levels and significant deprivation—important factors for families and some buyers.
For buyers prioritising transport and coastal amenities, this flat is well located close to Southend town centre, stations to London and the seafront. It suits someone seeking a compact, modern home or a buy-to-let opportunity in a commuter market, provided they accept the local social and cost implications.
