Annual service charge (£2,000) and ground rent (£300) are above nominal levels for some buyers; these running costs should be factored into affordability calculations. The property is on the first floor (no mention of a lift) and has a compact layout, so it may suit downsizers or couples rather than those needing extensive space.
