Step into a modern fifth-floor one-bedroom apartment in Harlesden, offered chain-free with shared ownership flexibility (purchase from 25% upwards). The flat is practical for first-time buyers seeking lower upfront cost, with two private balconies, lift access and allocated off-street parking for convenience.
Comfort is built in: underfloor heating and an EPC band B indicate reasonable energy performance, and the long lease (over 1,000 years) gives long-term security. The layout is a typical mid-sized one-bedroom with large windows and built-in storage, suited to single occupants or couples.
Be aware of the ongoing costs and local context. Service charges are substantial (about £2,809.68 yearly / £234.18 monthly) and the heating is provided via a community scheme rather than an individual boiler. The wider area shows above-average crime levels and high local deprivation, so budget for commute and lifestyle considerations.
This property suits buyers wanting an affordable entry into London ownership via shared ownership, who prioritise transport links and modern finishes over immediate privacy of individual utilities. Approval through Hyde New Homes is required for shared ownership applicants.
